......then what I did was get a
smallish solar charger, and keep it hooked up as a trickle charger all
the time. That works well for me.

If you know, or know someone who works for, a VW dealer, that could be a
good source ( i.e., $0). Every new VW comes off the transport at the dealer
with a small solar charger wired to the battery and suction-cupped to the
inside of the windshield.


Hmm, I'll look into that, I'd like to have a couple of them, I'd just
put a couple of alligator clips on it, and have another trickle
charger. Hell, mine isn't any bigger than that, and I paid somewhere
around $40 for mine.
