+1 for the charger. I use a C-TEK brand designed in Sweden. Turbo Batteries told me you can get up to 8 years battery life using a C-TEK. I have a plug (supplied with charger) sitting out the front of my grille that's hard wired to the battery. It's just a matter of plugging in the car when I get home.

Mine was a super charge job and it fits, a bit tight but it's there.  Below is the charger I have.  I have it permanently mounted on the wall in the garage.  It comes with a wiring harness that you permanently attach to the battery that saves you using the alligator clips.  With mine, I went to Jaycar and brought some extra cable similar to what was supplied to make the harness larger.  I now have the harness sitting just behind the bumper so when I pull up I simply plug it in and it's on charge.  I don't even need to lift the bonnent and the charger switches off when it is charged.

I bought a similar one by the same company and from the same mob on eBay:

They come in various sizes, but I bought the smallest one as it is just for maintaining the battery.  SCA sell them too.
