I have a questions as referenced in the thread title. I'm leaving for about 2 straight months. I have the Deltran battery tender which I hear is the best one you can get. I'm still a little nervous about keeping it plugged in for such a long time. Should I be?

Should I be concerned about power outages, or rather, when the power kicks back on? We get those here during thunderstorms.

I have it plugged into a surge protector also. I don't want to bother anyone to actually start the car while I'm gone, and I think that shouldn't be a problem since it is summer, am I wrong?

How about asking a friend to simply turn on/off the surge protector with the battery tender every 2 weeks or something?

Thanks for your help, I'll take any suggestions into consideration. It's a 96 GTS btw.
