Batt. charger
I have a CTEK-3300 and use it with the cigarette lighter plug which I like very much. With my Corvette this works very well however keep in mind that in some cars the cigarette lighter receptacle becomes inactive when the ignition is turned off and the key is pulled out. I found this out when I tried using the charger on my wife's old Honda.
Before you buy one for a car other than a Corvette see if the cigarette lighter works with the ignition off.

This is the only technical info I could find and found it on the Sears site:
"Black & Decker BM3B Battery Maintainer / Trickle Charger
Black & Decker BM3B Battery Maintainer / Trickle Charger. Amps: Single: 1 Amp Input: 120V AC, 60 Hz, 0.5 Amp Output: 6 & 12V DC, 0.1 - 1 Amp Automatic Float Mode to protect battery from overcharging E-Z Connect for battery clips, ring terminals or DC plug use"
I've got an older model that works fine on a couple of my motorcycles and I have the Ctek and Battery Tender. Ctek is in a different class compared to the others.
