Recommended Battery Charger for Chevy Silverado and Ford Escape
Question:
I have a 2010 Chevy Silverado as well as a 2014 Ford Escape 2.0 with 4 wheel drive. What battery charger would you advise me to get to service 2 vehicles. I live in Manitoba and need it for the winter. There are times one of the vehicle is sitting for a week and when I go to use it the vehicle wont start. The Ford Escape is bad for this. Look forward hearing from you.

For your application I really like the CTEK MULTI US 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger # CTEK56353. This is an easy to use charger with 2 battery-cable attachment systems (eyelet and clamp-terminal) that will simply plug into a standard household AC outlet.
The great thing about this particular charger is its multi-stage system. This includes the Desulfation, Bulk, and Absorption stages which all work towards charging the vehicle battery up to full power and the Pulse-maintenance stage which will maintain this level without the fear of any overcharging or voltage drop for months at a time if needed. This will ensure that both your Silverado and Escape are ready to go when you need them after sitting through a week or two of Manitoba cold.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations along with the written instructions manual that you can check out as well.
