Default Battery Tender ??

Hello
I bought a 2010 Caliber SXT and have had it stored in the garage the last couple months. I noticed the battery is not fully charged anymore. My question is would there be any issues if I were to put a Battery Tender on it. The Caliber will be sitting probably another month and I don't want the battery to go completely dead. Sorry if I am asking a stupid question but I just do not want to fry any electronics on it.
Thank you

Yes, disconnect the battery first.

I use them on different vehicles. I've never had any issues with electronics leaving the battery hooked up.

Thanks for the reply I have only used them on my 67 Fairlane so I was not sure about newer vehicles.

I keep one on our 07 Grand Caravan all of the time since it sits a lot. I keep one on my 88 Mustang too.
