While a solar charger will save a tiny amount of electricity, I've had
excellent results from BatteryMinder products. They make a full line of
computer chargers that monitor the battery's state of charge, top the
battery up as necessary, will never overcharge, and also continually
desulphate the battery.
I've stretched extra years from batteries that were ready to be replaced
before I started them on the BatteryMinder.

I'd like to use a solar trickle charger on my F250 (diesel) to maintain the
batteries over long period of un-use. I was about to buy the $30 trickle
charger off Amazon
