Battery tender or trickle charger

Which is the best option for keeping batteries charged? My daughter just bought a battery tender for her motorcycle...I had never heard of it. We have a trickle charger that we have used for the truck battery in the past so....just wondering

    A trickle charger puts out a constant charge which can overcharge a battery if left on. A Battery Tender or smart charger well switch to a float charge and not boil a battery dry.
