Vintage Mopar, I suspect can do well without a tender while in winter storage.

Modern Mopars have a continual micro battery drain due to all the advanced micro circuits and such.

A good tender on such will keep it topped off, so to speak.

It’s the “up / down” storage charge factors that are very hard on their batteries.

My 2020 Challenger Scat Pack is stored in a drywall insulated garage, which is house attached.

It’s on a Deltran 1.25 amp tender for the winter.

Disconnect the battery and you have no drain.


On many late model vehicles doing a battery disconnect can be way more complicated.
