I've been using battery tender junior for several years and have been happy with it. It is probably > 8 years old so I should replace it soon.
Ctek US 3300, I think I got it from Amazon.

My trickle charger of choice is the BatteryMinder brand. But I'm sure both Battery Minder and Battery Tender are the same. Living in Chicago I seldom dirve my Boxster in the winter, except for the nicest of sunny winter days with no salt on the road so I keep it on the charger ALL winter and actually most of the summer too. My batteries typically last 8 to 9 years in doing so.

I run the pigtail connection next to the drivers side windshield wiper shaft. It lays nicely in the molding and is mostly hidden from view. I wanted to make it easy to get to so I can easily plug it in after driving.

I also have my motorcycle connected to a second BatteryMinder and I follow the same proceedure with it. It's orginal OEM battery is 7 years old and still starts the cycle without issue.
