Thank you for your reply. Now a question on battery tenders. I have a battery tender Jr. And the way I understand this is the only difference tender Jr Has against the bigger tender is CHARGInG TIME.battery tender Jr. Takes longer time charging. Do I understand this correctly?

I believe the difference is.....

After review, I'd say you are right, the Tender is just a larger charging capacity.

Those little electronic things that WalMart(and others) uses don't actually measure battery performance. My $0.02

Hi Jus.....I just been busy doing stuff less important than learning more about my Savage... Wink

BTW, that link is for dielectric grease, specifically formulated to be a poor conductor of electricity.

I thought art was on to electrically conductive grease. I was lookin' for such an animal a while back....

We use a lot of it on connectors & circuit boards to improve connections. I wipe it on the ends of batteries & put a coating on car battery terminals.
