Default Battery storage/ charging

Has anyone used the Sears Die Hard battery Maintainer for winter storage? If you guys have any pro or con coments I would like to hear them..........The charger is a 2 amp with a floating charge, (as needed) It seems to be OK @thirty bucks,but second opinions are always appriciated. Thanks.
