If you going to leave it unattended make sure you get one that shuts itself off after it's charged, then it should kick back on after a drop in voltage.

Sorry to hear Vin, I know the feeling! I do not recommend going through LMR, it was the cheapest place I could find the Fluidyne, but I had issues with the quality for some reason. If I had it to do over, I would buy directly from Fluidyne. I wouldn't try to be cheap again. If you check through this thread, you will find some other recommended brands that might be worth checking into, like the Griffen. Good luck!! :wavey:
