You might also look at the YUASA Smart Shot 1.5 amp Charger Maintainer. http://www.yuasabatteries.com/chargers.php I have two of them that I use on a couple of batteries. What I like is the 28 day cycle that does give them a bit of simulated use. The chargers will bring a battery up to float but it does take some time if the battery has really been used a lot.
