John,
I keep my RC planes on trickle chargers during the flying season by having
the chargers on a standard home lighting timer. I have them turn on for an
hour, once a day. When I bring the planes back, I charge them up
completely, then let the trickle charger run for an hour a day to maintain
the charge. Something like this would work for your situation too.
Jack

Subject: [Shop-talk] New Generac XG8000
I just purchased a new Generac 8000 watt generator with electric start.
The generator lives in an unheated shed and as with my old generator, I
would remove the battery and leave it on a trickle charger in my
basement until needed in an emergency. On this generator, the battery
looks to be a real job to replace quickly and has a small female
receptacle for a 12 volt transformer(like a big cell phone charger) to
keep the battery charged. The manual says not to leave it plugged in
for more than 48 hours. Any suggestions for a trickle type charger with
electronics to control the charge and that I can leave plugged in
throughout the winter? Thanks John Mitchell
