Tender is word I know from cooking, but what it has to do with battery?
I used battery MAINTAINERS for my off-season toys and they do help a lot by having floating circuit who keeps 13.5V all the time.
But on couple occasions the maintainer failed and killed the battery, so they need to be monitor at least monthly.
So leaving battery disconnected up to 6 month turn out the best way.
Golf cart batteries hold the charge even after 13 months in dry storage.
Battery Tender is a brand name of a popular maintainer. The name has become a common term of any maintainer. Kind of like calling an adjustable spanner a Crescent wrench.
