The Battery Minder line was recommended by "Aviation Consumer" magazine a couple of years ago to keep these expensive aircraft lead acid batteries in shape for those who don't fly often. I have the model 12112 that I use when I know the plane won't be flown for more than three weeks. there are bigger, newer models, but this one seems to do fine. This seems to be the current model: http://www.amazon.com/BatteryMINDer-Model-1510-Maintenance-Desulfator/dp/B00Q3CM2QY/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1431465098&sr=8-2-fkmr1
I also use the cheap HF float chargers on other batteries, like the lawn mower and the old extra MB Diesel battery that I kept somehow. I use it to operate a 12v. winch now - pull the plane in the hangar when I'm tired, or last use was to load/unload an old (1901) up-right piano on the F150. I have a couple of solar chargers that we use when a car will be parked in the sun for awhile.
