Trickle charger

[tractng]

Anybody using one that they would recommend for the Z? Had used a few back in the days for jetskis with mixed experience.

I assume you mean trickle charger. A lot of people I have talked to really like the Battery Tender brand.

Yes! I had used that brand on my jetski years ago.

I bought the NOCO 1amp model with the quick disconnect

I also considered the 2amp model that you mount near the battery w/ quick disconnect

I also upgraded the nissan air compressor for the Z and my wife’s car. Also bought thier car battery jumper. The AIR20 is for real, the AL5 is small and cordless for the wife.

CTEK brand that connects to your 12V outlet.

I ran the NOCO Genius 2 and the quick disconnect fitting also. Works like a charm

+1 for NOCO, very reliable.

With all the snow and cold, my Z sat in the garage for over 2 months. This one worked great.

Glad to see this thread. I need to get one, for those times when the weather is bad and my Z is chilling in the garage. It's what one fellow member here was calling a "pavement princess."

I have had good luck with an inexpensive 800ma charger which I use for my project car, motorcycle, and tractor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWDZ2KQ

I just install a 3' connector from the battery out the grill area, where it is zip tied and tucked away when not in use.

If I am not using the Z for a week or more I will use a charger with terminal clamps that came with a '21 Camaro SS I owned for a while, tickles me to use a Chevy branded charger on the Nissan.

How about just daily the car like it's meant to be?

Kind of hard to do if you're out of town for any length of time, courtesy of the 'friendly skies."

Ok nice weather Texas man

I let the WRX take the brunt of the salt, rocks and potholes in winter. And it handles better in slippery conditions. I also didn't buy winter or all season tires for Z.

I mean I understand if you get like a foot of snow or something. I've had 8 Mustangs and I've taken them thru whatever mother nature could throw at me. The Z is no different. Yes I live in Texas not my fault y'all live in the north with all those no brain goons up there. Unless you're out of town for months on end, I see no point in a tender. Also if the Z is your weekend car, that means you have money. So a $200 battery should be a drop in the rain for you.
