    Pro-Logix battery charger is awesome.

    WRC - I checked out Northstar awhile back for a different application. Spoke to a tech engineer for a good bit....actually, his response on recommended charge rate was ~low and slow~ and not the high amp charge rate recommended by Odyssey. When I saw low and slow, I'm thinking 7-10amps on...

    Pro-Logix battery charger is awesome.

    For deep discharge applications, the manuf of my batteries, Odyssey, recommends 25-50 amps minimum. I thought it was odd...but I'm not the one with Scientific data that proves low and slow is better than what they recommend

    Tentative SnowBlower

    I've got a single stager that I prefer to use more.... Genuine GX - Honda's coming out with new 1 stagers. Too bad they are still using a 200 instead of a bigger block. All I mainly plan to use it for is EOD and very heavy snowfall moving. I like my HS621

    Prior to the Cteks. I had a batteryminder. Pretty good 3 step charger with selectable 2/4/8 amp rates. I switched to Cteks to standardize on my ~plugs~ system. the 25 amp is for my deep discharge agn applications..

    Pro-Logix battery charger is awesome.

    Ctek or Noco IMO. I have 2 Cteks and a Noco. The noco I have, due to 25amp charge. Cteks are generally uses more. IMO, it's built a bit better than the Ctek's. It HAS different smart charge profiles, wet, agm and even lithiums, depending on which model you get.

    Using a fluid extractor to change the oil?

    I own one. Used it a couple times and stopped using it. This is subjective I suppose. IMO it's faster doing a bolt drop. With a extractor, I need to clean out the dip tube, pour out the oil in a transfer can, etc, etc. More work involved IMO

    Backing into parking spots

    I think it really boils down to location of where you live/ norm driving/parking styles... If u don't do it like even once a month, every 2 weeks, etc - it's not part of your driving skillset..

    I've got like 2 extractors....I use the small one for small engine stuff but oil extractors IMO take MUCH longer Extract. Clean the extraction tubes Still need to pour oil into a *container* to drop off, etc I'd rather just drop the bolt and drain anyday, everyday

    N63 Powerplant

    I've run plenty of GC in N62. As well as PUE, 1 run of Motul, as well for awhile, that ~oil~ TD was pitching......can't recall the name. I always avoided M1 due to many reports of noise on the forums.. Not sure how the ~new~ Edge 0-40 compares to GC.

    N63 Powerplant

    For the N63 engine, which would you choose M1 0-40 PUE 5-40 and or the Edge 0-40 I have run PUE (not the newer platinum) on my N62. I tend to favor GC in the 62. There's just something about it.....

    Which AGM would you pick

    I currently have 2 Odyssey in my rides.....I've decided not to pay a premium for premium batteries....hello, I think regular lead batteries will get me a similar life out of them. Anyhow, I do like the merits of AGM. OKAY with the local autoparts pricing . Was just curious what ya'll liked...
