Harbor Freight has a few choices.  I got a small "Battery Float Charger"
that only charges when it has to, using the 120 volt.  I plugged it in under
the sink into the 120V and I plug the car in with a cord when I want power.
That way, anytime the car is connected, the charger will work.  All year if
I need it.  And the batteries are always top shape.
