Haha! LOOK WHO IS TALKING! I have a new job and can drive in over lunch and back after traffic dies down, so I am driving it a lot more than I used to, actually, at least 1x / week, so the charger is mostly unplugged. I do like it with the odyssey which definitely doesn't have the same capacity as stock. You do not want to battery to go dead and reset the computer on a 993. It will take forever for the OBD2 codes to set.
Interesting to hear that others have poor reliability with the battery tenders??? They used to be the go-to brand. Checking the amazon review, it has a full 5 star total rating with 37k (!) reviewers and only 2% came back at 1 star. I'd challenge the Harbor Freight model against that kind of reputation.
