NAPA #85-300A....CAn either mount permanatly or add a few feet of cord and put small battery clips on.Thats what I did .Mounted the charger on the garage wall and hook it up when ever it is not out.Battery in my last Corvette lasted 11 years .Keep them charged and they will last.

Battery Tenders
I've tried them all and found that Griots Garage has the best one out on the market. Lots of features for installation. Runs about 70.00, you can order online.
Good Luck

I like the trickle charger that simply plugs into the cigarette lighter. Unfortunately, I can only find this made by Porsche which means pretty expensive. The convenience is nice though....
I've found one on ebay:
