Default Battery charger question

Had a battery charger/starter and lost the instructions. I want to store my C-6 in my outer garage. Whats the difference between "Conventional low maintenance" and "Maintenance free deep cycle?" And then 2 vs 10 vs 50 Amps. What do I use just to keep the battery alive and charged?
Thanks in advance
Ron

Not a normal charger, you need a battery TENDER. about 15 to 25 bucks depending on what/wher you buy

Make sure the charger will automatically turn off when it has charged the battery to about 12.5 volts. Most of these chargers put out between 1.5 and 2.5 amps. You do not want the charger to stay on constantly. I got one from Walmart for $17.44. Works great.
