A trickle charger will continue to charge (at a very slow rate) even after the battery is fully charged. If you leave this in place, it can boil a battery dry. A battery tender is a "smart charger". It senses and keeps track of how the battery is doing. When fully charged, it will stop charging and then go back periodically and check the condition, recharging as needed, keeping the battery in the best shape it can be in. I used a tender with an Optima Red Top with zero issues, btw. | |

"Battery Tender" is a good one, can be bought elsewhere, this is a reference only link....batteriesplus.com/charger/car-and-truck/battery-tender | |
