Hi Mike
In Corvette circles, battery tenders tend to be fairly common as many
Vette owners don't drive 'em at all during winter. As such there are
many good (and well tested) battery tenders out there. Here is one
that is recommended pretty frequently (and pretty cheap at $40)

Hi Mike
You might want to look at the Soneil Chargers http://www.soneil.com/.
I sell these up here in Canada but there are lots of dealers in the US.
They are totally automatic, can be left connected and plugged in.

For my Corvette, I took the cable off the battery
and put an ammeter in series. I read the current
after the Corvette went to sleep.
Used a big 36 volt transformer off an ink jet printer
with a diode, resistor, and LED in series, with
clip leads to the battery. I chose the resistor
for about 25
