Battery charger
Do you guys sell or know anything about the Battery Tender or other "trickle" charger to use on a car that isn't driven regularly.
Can you recommend this product or better ones?

I've used a Battery Tender for a couple of years on a car I store during the winters. This is what you want. It's not actually a trickle charger.
A trickle charger would constantly push in a half to 2 amps and would eventually overcharge the battery if left on too long. The Battery Tender uses something like 3/4 of an amp but stops charging once it senses that the battery is fully charged. There are several different manufacturers of this type of charger.
