I have had wonderful success with a Sears battery monitor. They were about
$25 and I plug them into a timer so that they are on for 3 hours a day.
They monitor the voltage and charge 1 amp only when needed. I use the timer
because I do not like leaving any devise on for months all the time. Four
MGs which always have strong batteries for the last three years.

Not to start a non MG thread, but the worlds best hot dogs come from
Paterson N.J. They are cooked differently (deep fried) and are topped with
a special brown sauce (like but not Chili ) The Texas wiener is not from
Texas, but originated in Paterson in the 1930's . I will try Blackies
anyway as I am a hot dog nut. Those who want the names or directions to any
of several Paterson Hot Dog locations, email me
