This may be too simple. The local Fleet Farm has a battery trickle charger
(1 amp max) for about 20 dollars and a 24 hour plug in electrical timer for
about 5 dollars. I set mine for about an hour a day and permanently wired
in the trickle charger. I plug the truck into the timer when I'm not going
to use it for a while and it keeps up just fine, even in our cold winters
with no use.
