I may get a tender/minder type set up. Browsing the 'things ever newb should know' thread, seems the reasoning for straying from a 'battery tender' was its ouput voltage being only 12.1v. Maybe that info was based on older products.
But the new stuff does practically everything, computer controlled, charges up to 14v depending on charging/floating, desulfates. All in a tiny package with the standard 2pin connector (or clips). Could mount that to the wall where the bikes are, instead of having another bigger charger taking up room.

It shouldn't be a big deal where I live, its mild winter weather here, can practically ride all year long. Even Jan-Feb there's spuratic 65+ degree days. There's really no 'storing' the bike here.
