I've always thought the non-rechargeable transponder was the way to go.
Never have to fuss with recharging (or dead batteries). Install it and
forget it. I hooked mine up to the "out" terminal of my master switch. When
the car is "on" the transponder is on. If I don't plan to use it for a long
period of time, I just take the fuse out.
