Thanks!


I found out a while back if I am getting ready to buy something, just go on google and type "(name of business) codes" for example "Advance Auto codes"
This will bring up a lot of links with codes. Usually the site www.retailmenot.com has good codes.

This my friends is fate.
After new windows were installed last week, my wife has been searching for the "perfect" new curtains/drapes. We've been EVERYWHERE, except for one place.
That one place is Wally World. Guess where we're going today?
Yep, Walmart.
GAWD DAMMIT.
May as well look for the tender while we're there.

Yep, sometimes crow tastes pretty good.....
While we didn't find the draperies we were looking for, I did find the tender Pig suggested, along with a small electric air compressor that I've been wanting for a while now.
Just like Pig said, the tender was 19 bucks.
Got home and hooked it up, went out to dinner, an hour and a half later the thing had the GREEN light on.
Thanks PigInaBlanket,for the good advice.

It is also made by East Penn.

I bought one last February and it has been fine. I'd buy one again when the time comes.
Here is the link to it

FYI, coupon code TRT41 is still valid as of today. Purchased the ETX20L online and picked up in the store today for $65, half what the dealer wants for a new HD battery.

Thanks Pig

Yep with car off, and I still unhook the cable as soon as it starts (maybe unneccesary, I just know a car battery puts out way more amps then a bikes system is set up for, and have heard horror stories of fried ecm's and stators and such)

A good battery will die if left for 2 months without a tender on it if you have a security system installed.
