For the moment I would go to a harbor freight and pickup a small battery charger or maintainer like the $5 one and use it on the chassis battery.
Gotta be careful with this though.
Their cheapest one is an uncontrolled trickle charger and over LONG periods of time can "boil" off some of the water in the battery. It has only one "box" connected to the cords and is NOT a good choice.
I have seen a lot of people recommend their next cheapest model, which has two plastic boxes on the wiring. It claims to be "automatic". If you are on a tight budget, that might be a good choice. I personally would not do that since you can get a name brand 2 amp fully automatic battery maintainer for around $30.
P.S. In a weak moment I got one of HFs big chargers and that was a big mistake. I see no difference in charging rate in the two lower ranges and it might not be much higher than my small automatic unit.
