Bought 3 from Harbor Freight over the years and have had excellent results with them. Approx 10 dollars each and free shipping. The oldest is 20 years plus and still performs as expected.

Get the Deltran Battery Tender Plus. I got mine at Pep Boys for about $50. It's a well built device that intelligently charges then floats the battery indefinitely, unlike a standard charger that can boil your battery acid by overcharging.

I agree either the Battery Tender Plus or VDC electronics Battery
Minder. You can leave either of these on indefinately with no fear
of battery damage.

That's where I bought all four of mine, I use them on all my toys that have a 12 volt battery. The batteries seem to last longer, when you keep them charged.
