The recommendation is monthly inspection and clean as needed, at least 2x a year. There are chemical washers and sprays which will REDUCE it a bit but none that will stop it that I have ever found (Never tried the flex seal products though).
I also would not recommend the charger he recommended.. I would recommend a good 3+ stage smart converter, such as the already recommended PDI 9200 line (For a pair of six volt GC-2's in a trailer a 9260 is best, in a motor home with a BIRD isolator system 9280) What do I use, a PDI 9180 with charge wizard (Which makes it a 9280)... When I got the motor home I did a lot, and I mean a LOT of research into converters.. NONE better. (Some as good, none better).
