I'm going to use this for winter storage 1 car. Do you think I can use the Junior instead? Car is a Lexus is250c.

If your battery is in very good condition, the Jr. should be fine. If not the Jr. will probably be working too hard to do the job, and could burn out.

The plus tender has kept my big old '99 Lexus 400 "alive" in both winter and summer now, after initially bringing its battery back from the "silent dead", which, to be sure, took four whole days after hook-up, longer than the instructions said and well past the time the instructions said indicated my battery was beyond the help of the Plus Tender. I mention that, as it suggests my battery may've pushed the envelope of the Plus, making me glad I didn't buy instead the Junior. Full disclosure: I know nothing about car batteries.

Absolutely! The Jr. will do and excellent job for your application. It is basically the same charger except the output is 3/4 amp instead of 1.25 amps of the battery tender. All this means is that it would take longer to get to full charge. Since it would be used for storage, you don't need a charger that could charge a completely dead battery quickly.

I tried to use the jr. On my mini cooper over the winter and it didnt do the job. I then bot the plus and it charged it with-in a few hours...i would say spend the extra few bucks and get the plus.

I own 3 battery tender pluses for the cars I put in winter storage. These work so well I would hate to recommend battery tender junior. However, I am sure all battery tender products work great.

I have a 1994 Honda accord and te standard is a little too small. The jumbo is wider and fits better. But it's a little longer so a little extra comes out on the side. Actually protects better.

i was going to put my Saab in storage, but decided to store a different car and used the cover for the other (older) vehicle, so i can't really give you a definitive answer...

The Luggie is used in Europe in cold weather. We did not receive any complaints about storing it in cold weather in car trunks. We suggest to remove the lithium battery pack and take it indoors if you are storing it for a long time.

I do not know. You have to do your homework, i.e., see if there is a sufficient mounting location. Most cars of that generation do have space to mount them, but you have to measure. The coolant reservoir is priced GREAT an would be awesome for you if it fits. Now go measure!!

I wouldn't recommend it for long term storage. It's meant to lift the car up and perform a tire change or other maintenance. For long term storage I'd use jack stands because they're meant for that. It probably could without a problem but would not be very safe.

Don't bother - for me, it's a nuisance. The material is flimsy and it would take 2 people to store it. That's only my opinion and I don't have a Nissan Sentra XE, so I'd ask other people if I were you.

The one I brought used keep freezes up at car chase. I suggest you by it new.

Yes, it can! I did indeed try it for that purpose. To know if the snow is light and fluffy for the job, try blowing a little bit of snow with your mouth. If it comes off, then this will do the trick perfectly. However, do not store the blower inside your car. It will degrade the battery quickly. It is my understanding after reading numerous articles on LI and Ni-Cad batteries that they do not like to be stored in extremely hot or cold temperatures over extended period of times.

I really don't know about the junior, but you definitely can with the non-junior lunchbox. check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt-i1DjSmzI . hope that helps

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!

I would think that would not be problem during the warm weather. But if you are in a cold area where it could freeze it would be a problem. I would check with the factory. Richard

Mike, I think that would be a question for the manufacturer. The 'plastic' interior may not be able to take the sub-freezing temp. Sorry but your question needs the expertise of the manufacturer.

We are using the setup on a Ford-Edge. The car handles the weight very well. The one problem we do have is scraping the driveway and road when we back up. It rides low. We are going to check into changing the shocks on the back to air shocks. But it fits well on the car. I think the two cars are comparative in size.

Just push the winter/summer button once id's are stored in unit. Unit holds winter/summer data for one car, so only need PC if you're swapping on two or more different vehicles.

I have an '03 Mazda Protege5. This, to me, is great for smaller cars. It can't carry a ton, but you can load it up with boxes and containers just fine. It's also nice that it has a bit of rise to it. It helps with clearance for smaller cars. I did have to buy a hitch adaptor as the hitch on my car was 1 1/4" and this is 2". No big deal, just another $30 to factor in.

We live in Illinois, it works fine here. Our winter may not have been as bad as yours, but it was COLD. Don't know if it makes a difference or not but our car is in attached garage overnight.
