My Tr4 hasn't gotten out at all this summer.   I put my new battery charger
on it -  It's all electronic  vs my old one that just had a 3 position
switch and an analog meter.

This new charger is quite fancy, it will tell you if the battery is
connected backwards,  light a light with a bad battery, etc.  Trouble is
I"m not sure I trust it.

I've had this thing tell me 4 batteries are bad.  I havent been driving my
truck, my wife hasn't been driving her Z4,  and my mom's car battery showed
bad as well....

I think I'm going to buy an old school charger and see what happens.  It's
cheaper than buying one of the four batteries....

Or they just sat so long they died.....     Anyone have experience with
those newer fancy chargers?  Any issues or concerns?

Thanks!
