What type of battery tender/maintainer are you folks using for gel batteries? I have the BMW exide gel in my 71 R60/5 and am looking for one. Thanks.

I have a Panasonic branded battery. Same battery they make for Westco who puts their stickers on, but it's a little cheaper if you get it branded Panasonic.

Bought it in 2003, lived on the bike for two years, rode it around the world. I use the bike seldom these days, but that battery is still in there and it still works ten years later. I'm not complaining.
