Whoa Nellie! More questions, if you please.
I was recently surfing around for my trickle charger instructions, and
came across some discussion of the safety issues such as you refer to
when working around batteries. But what about the gel-type batteries,
like Optima and the Napa cheap lookalikes?
Since you are comparing battery tenders, there is one a Porsche friend
(one whose alternator died ... ) recommended to me that he now uses. It is
handy in that the leads apparently can be popped right onto the battery in
the car and you pull them off and drive away. I think this is it (can't
find my original bookmark); I recall it was very inexpensive:

When you say "disconnect" the ignition, do you mean the electronic
ignition unit/control unit?
Can you describe steps for turning the crankshaft manually? Thus far I've
only found reference to the crankshaft in the section about overhauling
the engine (out of the car).
Thanks for your patience!

going to be stored, it will preserve the battery. They are also good for
revitalizing batteries that have been abused (e.g., the lights left on until
the battery is drained... Not that any of us have ever done that :P).
