Bob,
One of the cleverest plans I've heard (from someone on this list I think) 
is to leave a charger connected to the battery, and plug it in to the light 
on the garage door opener. Then each time you open the door the battery 
will be charged for 3 minutes or whatever time the light stays on. This 
assumes you have a garage of course, not to mention an automatic opener. In 
mine at least there are two light bulbs so one can be removed and an outlet 
screwed in to its spot.

============================================
I want to put my TR3 battery on a "trickle" charger for the winter.
Is it best to leave the battery charging in the car (in an unheated
garage, in Wisconsin) or put it in the basement (also connected to
the charger) until spring?
