So, does that mean the standard Battery MINDer meets the Optima
specifications or not ? If it does, why offer a different unit ? If it
doesn't, why advertise that it does ?

I'm guessing it would be a little harder on the battery, because the minder
is going to bring it back up to peak voltage every time you turn it on,
rather than waiting until it self-discharges enough to need it (which I
think normally only happens every few months or so). But clearly it's no
worse than a regulated trickle charger (like the HF thing), so maybe it
wouldn't make much difference.
