GTO,

What is the reason for the upgrade? I am somewhat old fashioned and believe if it isn't broken don't try and fix it. Now of course if the old charger has gone the way of the Dodo then your have no choice.

As Vita states battery tenders are nice. However don't limit yourself to just a battery tender, as they only work over the long term.... I believe the last time I was at sears I saw some units, that had Battery tending modes as well as some normal charging modes. Now I am not trying to endorse sears here, I haven't had to by a charger in many years and therefore I don't know who to recommend. My point is this however that there are many models out there do a little research and make sure that you get one that will fit your use model... you probably don't need the 50 amp starting model... but one with a battery tending feature and a 2 and 10 amp charge would be right up your ally......
