Question:

I store my Jeep Wrangler for six months at a time without a battery tender. Should I avoid the 12V Pro MB94FR and go with the plug-in MB34FR instead?

Expert Reply:

Carl, exactly. The Pro # MB94FR works best when the vehicle battery is maintained or charged at least every week or two. For long-term storage without a maintainer, the plug-in # MB34FR is safer - it runs continuously off a 110V outlet and doesn’t risk draining your Jeep’s battery.

Do you have access to power in your storage spot, or is it totally off-grid?

If you don't have power outlet at all, the lowest wattage unit that runs off your Jeep's 12v battery is the classic # MB44FR, using only .1w of power! You won't need a maintainer/charger for this one.
