every spring truk is charged and ready to go with the turn of the key
this is my 2nd one in 12 years, i think a bad battery caused the last one to burn out at 5 years

right now it's $10 and well worth that, but hf puts it on sale for $5 often

i bought an official battery tender many years ago on sale $30 for when this hf unit burns out
