ok.. well their corporate office 'home of the battery tender' is located a couple cities east of me. for some reason the corporate office has a huge 4 ac industrial facility attached to the back of the main brick building. guess they use that as in indoor gymnasium or something? ( I'd go R&D or even refurb / repair possibly.. local distrobution point even.. )

I pass by it every week on the way to visit my motherinlaw.

I have one of these:
Schumacher Electric SE-1-12S - Battery Charger (Pack of 2)

I need to add some quick disconnects, but for now, it is tie wrapped to grill guard. It's weatherproof, so no big deal.

I plug it in whenever I park the tractor. Mostly because my alternator is not charging right now, but it keeps the battery good and "hot".

No need to disconnect anything.

i've got two of these:

Google Image Result for http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/m/mypRfeYiFaUZ6BivGtAcfAg/140.jpg

sorry the picture isnt very good - its the first one of them i could google. they are $35 or so and come with a bracket that goes under your battery and holds the maintainer beside your battery. the short leads are (semi) permanently attached and then you just use an extension cord to plug it in.

this (or a similar on by any other brand) is superior to a trickle charger. a trickle charger will keep supplying juice all the time. these are trickle chargers with a brain. they shut off when the battery doesn't need charging.

I have two of these, would highly recommend them.

Would this be classified as a tender tickler

Right before Christmas, TSC had the Schumacher battery minder on sale for $19.99 (regularly $24.99). They are smaller than this one, and they come with a disconnect. The actual charger is not mounted on the vehicle, you just plug the quick connect in while it is idle. I actually bought 5 of them, one for everything that has a battery (I got tired of buying new batteries for 4-wheelers and my motorcycle). The batteries will last 10 times as long if you keep them charged. I don't have AC where I keep my tractor or I would have one on it. Here is a picture of it. http://www.schumacherbatterycharger...0/11/schumacher-battery-charger-SEM-1562A.jpg
