Thanks, guys, for the Optima education! I think I will look for a battery tender. It's probably what's needed.

I like the idea of hard-wiring the battery tender! I already did the wiring mod, I know your wiring configuration well, John. And, I have the same battery. You may recall that you gave me plenty of help and all you got out of it was a Wyoming license plate.

The only thing I haven't done is replace the alternator. When this one goes, I will upgrade.
