Odyssey sells their brand charger, but it is not a sole purpose maintainer, rather a combo charger which has only clamps - no lead that can be hard-wired to the battery for easy trickle charge connect / disconnect.

Thanks!

YEARs ago, my first Odyssey I maintained on a conventional trickle charger. The batter lasted two years and took the poooop due to over heating. I went out and got the type of battery charger that is specified for a "DRY CELL". I just replaced that battery. It was twelve years old. Do your research on dry cells, the charging and maintaining cycle is not the same as a AGM or a standard lead acid battery.
