Looking for a battery trickle charger recommendation.
1.25 Amp or 4. Amp best for winter storage on my 914?
Price range?

Actually, I lied... I was convinced I had a Battery Tender, but actually not. I now remember why - they're not readily available for sale in this country.

What I have is an Optimate 6. Great unit. Had a smaller one for the motorcycle. Looks like the company is based in Belgium, offices in the US and Canada.
