Re: (ET) How often to charge large frame tractors sitting idle?

I'll get one when they start giving them away.<G> The $10.00 timer fit my permanently fixed,(As in BROKEN.) income, and besides,it fits in with the rest of the Apollo Era technology present. 

               And these T-125s are starting their 12th year. :)

Hi Guys
Get a Landis charge controller that uses the ET charger, but monitors the pack voltage, so you are always charged in any weather. 
Got my Landis 10 years ago and my first T-105 pack lasted 8 years.
Thanks,

                  Since mine is covered up outside until the refit
    of the shed is completed.............I use a 15A ,24 hour timer
    to charge it one hour per day when it's cold, half an hour per
    day when temperatures are 40 degrees F or higher.The primary
    timer must be reset every 18 to 36 days depending on the
    temperature anticipated.

    Does anybody have any recommendations for how frequently a stock E-20
    or I-5 should be charged when sitting idle between the mowing and
    plowing seasons?

    Lately the weather around here has been shifting from warm and soggy
    to bitterly cold pretty rapidly.
