Keeping batteries in good condition

[silverbullitt]

For all the people who have track cars .
How are ye keeping your batteries topped up in the track cars.
Are ye using any battery lock out devices . simply disconnecting the batteries , or removing them and keeping them on a trickle charger.Or are people just letting the batteries run flat , and them jump start them as required

I'm thinking about getting something like one of these ,

It's something I wouldn't have tought of.
Nothin worse than your battery dying

Get a solar powered trickle charger, they'll keep a charged battery fresh.
