Thanks a lot. All I want is a trickle charger.
To repeat......because this is important......you do NOT want a "trickle charger" because it just keeps going and going whether it needs to or not and over a long period can actually damage your batteries by running them dry.
You NEED a smart battery controller to go along with whatever panel you get.
THEN....if you can charge them up good and completely disconnect them, 90 days later they should still be fine. If they are NOT, then they needed to be replaced anyway.
My bad. When I say trickle charger I mean a controller that charges at a low amperage and monitors when and if a charge is needed.
