Thank you all. Well, I sure am glad I posted the question. I am now in the
middle of looking online for battery chargers to see what is available, what
they cost, where to buy them, etc. Over the next few days, I'll check some
auto parts stores to see what hey sell. Obviously, I need a charger that I
can leave on and not have to worry about the battery being overcharged.

The cheapest solution if you already have a 2 amp charger is to put an
automatic timer on it as gfretwell suggested.

Go to the thrift store and get a 50milliamp 12v power supply for a
calculator or whatever. One of those cubes that plugs in the wall.
In a week, 50ma comes to some 6 AH, not enough to cook the battery.
If you add water once a week, it should be all right. It would be
better to get a smart charger.
