I don't have info on the pump system itself, but there are several small 
battery "maintainers" that will make sure a battery stays at or near 
full charge with a very small charge. Some include "conditioning" 
cycles that help prevent sulfation. These evolved from motorcycle 
battery chargers.

Battery Tender is the brand name that I rely on, but there are sevearl 
other good ones, and some that are just cheap imitations. Check them 
out at the Battery Tender web site:

Then for the best price I have found so far go to this place. They have 
provided good service even replacing a JR. that went bad with a better 
model!
