Thanks brother I was kind of unsure. Beats having someone go and start it for you when your miles and miles away. If you know what I mean..

A battery tender is only $20, worth it to avoid the headache, and it will also lengthen the life of your battery so in the end it will more than pay for itself in hard and soft dollars.
