Use a battery tender. This will keep your battery fully charged.

My Dad used battery tenders with mixed success & bought more than one battery before selling the Vette to me. It's a DD now so not an issue. I think you'll be fine with a tender since you're working on it often enough to be sure everything's connected & chargeing.

Battery Tender all the way ----

I used them for years now, on Harley's and my Corvette. They are the vehicles that spend a lot of time in the garage (garage queens). And every time I start them up, whether sitting 1 week or months during the winter they always start right up. I use the Deltran Battery Tender Plus.
