It's not odd, Optima specifies special battery chargers for their batteries.
Would anyone hazard a guess on how a battery minder would work being
cycled on and off every day? I have off-peak power discounts, so I try
to have little or nothing running during the day. So if I got a battery
minder for my lawn mower batteries, I'd put it on a timer to only work
at night.
