Just to chime in, I've got an Optima Red Top and wasn't sure if I could put a standard battery tender on it so I bought the Optima maintainer/charger. It's been great.

Since then I bought the smaller charger like shown, i like the conditioning settings. I use both the tender and this optima chargers regularly. |
