I run a half dozen battery tenders in my unheated barn. Three tractors, my ZTR, and two old Jeeps. I hate the idea of running them 24/7 all winter long. I already have home automation running in the barn, so I can turn individual outlets on/off remotely and on a schedule. I've mainly used it for turning on the block heaters.
I haven't found anything here or online about what makes a good schedule so that the batteries are ready if I need them. I'm thinking about a once a week for 24 hours as a starting point. I know there are lots of variables - battery age/state etc - and I could program each one. But just trying to not overthink this.
Does anyone have their tenders on a schedule?
