I bought one many years ago from local auto parts store (Pepboys in
California) called "Deltran, Super Smart Battery Tender" It works great.
It maintains full charge by automatically switching to float when full
charge is reached. If you leave it on for a long time it simply turns it
self off until it senses that the battery charge is lower than a certain
predetermined charge and it turns itself on again. You can leave it
attached for any length of time. I use it on several LBC and I haven't had
to replace a battery in at least 5 years. I don't know if the same brand is
still available. The manufacturer was Deltran Corporation, Phone
904-736-7900, Deland, Florida.
Good Luck.
Ron
