Battery tender recommendations?

I'm not driving the T enough to keep the battery fully charged and am tired of getting the resulting Stabilitrak alerts. I've seen units from $20 to $100. The Porsche guys say C-TEK (guess where it is on the scale). I have a full-size charger; just need a weatherproof low amp plug 'n forget maintainer with dependable circuits that won't cook the battery. Suggestions?

Lots of battery tenders out there but the ones I use are Battery Tender brand. Google them. You can buy them at Walmart or any auto parts store.

For the past 3+ years I have used a CTEK Multi US 3300 to maintain the battery in the 09 CE that we hardly ever drive. Works great and hasn't failed me yet.

Ctek make the best by far. When I did freelance testing for some of the supercar companies, they all used Ctek. I've used them and the classic Battery Tender brand. The BT brand works fine but the Ctek seems to stretch the life of the batteries longer.

I have the Battery tender Brand on my 2006 gto scene day one. And i still have the same battery in the car to day. The car has 6000 miles on it. ON my other car I have a craftsman brand and that seems to work well to.

I'm resigned to making sure I drove the vehicles enough to keep them charged. And putting in an AGM battery in the H3 really helped.
