I will not be using my Ford Think for a few months and will not be able to charge the batteries during this period. Are there tickle chargers I can use to keep the batteries charged up?

Turn the switch off it should be fine.  
Else buy 6 pcs smart charger.  
I bought 20 of them to use on all my toys.  
I’ll try to find a link.  
Good way to get battery balanced too.

I paid more than this!:eek:

This is no trickle charger. Smart charger.

$4.63

Might order some more. I gave most of them away.😃

Harbor Freight has 12 volt units - work good. Dave would get off on this - lots of wires 🙂

I believe they are trickle chargers. I’ll look again. Of course, that’s what OP asked for.  
The smart chargers are, well, smarter.🙂

I got my battery charger from [4wheelonline](http://4wheelonline.com) and so far I have no complaints. I use it when I’m not going to use my EV for a few weeks.
