    Hi guys,

    Thanks for this great forum.

    I'm moving house and I cant plug my F12 tender at my new place as it's an autostacker parking lift.

    I've always plugged my car since I bought it 3 years ago and I'm pretty sure the battery will go flat if I dont do it anymore.

    Is there a way to have a portable charger or something ?

    Thanks for your help !

    there is no access to the car when its parked.
    You put the car on the stacker system and after the only way to have access to the car again is to get the car back from the stacker.

    For $200, I think I would buy a large deep cycle (marine or heavy equipment) battery and hook it to a couple of small wires (same size as tender wires is fine) outside the car. Once in a while, you could bring that battery inside and recharge it.

    Lithium Ion Power Station. I live in condo without power in parking garage. I pluged in a 600wh unit once a week but recently upgraded to a 1500wh unit to charge once every two weeks. 600wh was only maybe 15-20lbs, 1500 unit is more like 40-45.

    Why not get the 80ah Antigravity battery? Even IF it shoud drain over a few weeks, all you have to do is push the button on the fob. Easy as. No external stations, nothing to hook up.
