I've had good luck with the Battery Tender, bought the first one below
after learning it was the one BMW rebranded and sold for a lot more. I
used it continuously for two years on my M3 without any issues, and the
quick connect made it, well, quick to disconnect and reconnect. The M3 had
a habit of killing it's battery just sitting in the garage, but the tender
took care of that issue.
The small tender (Junior .75A), I used for my small gas generator, again,
constantly on for several years without issue.
