I've got a couple of DieHard Battery Charger Maintainers that seem to work
fine. They include spring clamps as well as eye ring connectors, so you
can hook it up temporarily or semi-permanently. Box says 1.5 amp slow
charge. Automatically switches from full charge to float-mode
monitoring. Charger maintains the battery when fully charged. Resumes
continuous charging when the battery becomes discharged. There is a switch
for 12 or 6 volt operation. I picked them up at Sears for about $22 on
sale, I think they were about $26 or $27 regularly. This seemed quite
reasonable to me.
