I use to have one called the Battery Tender. Don't remember who made it, but it worked good for me till I lost it in the move back to Maine. Been thinking of getting another one, as temps up here get pretty cold in winter. Reason for asking I've just had a shop tell me not to use them "because they can sometimes over charge, or cycle the battery too often.

Never had a problem , connect it to battery first thing in the morning by the time breakfast is finished , washing up done , dishes dried , the little green light says we are good to go
The trickle charger I have got I guess would not be available in the USofA Generally have Toast with Peanut butter and a cup of Tea for those interested Oz

If you have decent circuit breakers in the garage you should be as good as gold I would only imagine trouble if you left them for extended periods , say like over 4 hours or more Oz

I don’t like the idea of leaving a battery charging unattended. I know someone whose garage burnt down from one of those.

It is meant keep a battery fresh by trickle charging a low current, only when needed, to maintain the battery's float voltage. If you are applying a "tender", only on occasion to, a battery that has degraded over a period of time from sitting, you are over taxing the "tender", not doing the battery any good, and wasting your time. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/diffe...ery-maintainer https://www.pulsetech.net/media/wysi...e-Chargers.pdf

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
