I've had good luck with products from these people:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.batterytender.com/Chargers/">http://www.batterytender.com/Chargers/</a><br>
<br>
Use them to maintain motorcycle batteries over the winter. Have
multiple, maintain my generator battery and for some of my ham
radio backup batteries. <br>
<br>
Widely available for less than the MSRP's shown.<br>

For sure. Get a battery maintainer; won't overcharge like a
trickle charger can (I had one ruin a battery once), they can even
get rid of sulfation.<br>
<br>
I have one like this; although it's been obsoleted there are
equivalent, newer models:<br>

<div>Unless you're going to drive it, just let it
sit. If you start it up and just let it idle for a
while you'll get a lot of condensation in your
exhaust that will eventually rust through. If you
have a stainless exhaust you might be ok, but you'll
still get condensation in the oil, which can form
acids--not good.<br>

<div>You're probably better off 'pickling' your engine
for the winter: fresh oil, one last good run to
slosh it around, moisture-absorbing spark plugs,
etc.<br>
