    Your best bet is a motorcycle specific charger/maintainer, with approximately 1.25 amps max output, but slightly larger or slightly smaller versions will do. Battery Tender (Plus or Jr.), Accumate, Optimate, and Xtreme are my favorites, but there are others.

    Just buy a Deltran Battery Tender Jr.... Easy choice that's tough to beat!

    I have a Battery Tender (tm), and a couple of Sears motorcycle chargers also with float mode. All of 'em charge my bikes just fine.
