These days of working from home my car doesn't get much use. I maybe drive it 2-3 times per week and even then rarely more than a couple of miles. I've noticed the starter cranks more slowly since the battery is being used but isn't being charged much. I have a CTEK tender on my motorcycle battery for the winter months and thought of getting a tender for the car.

Anybody have a good recommendation? Don't need a quick charger, just something to leave attached to the battery for a while to keep it charged up. Car is a 2004 Honda CR-V with a standard 12 volt battery.

Attached is a link to CTEK battery charger. These chargers are included in most high end vehicle purchases in Europe. Buy a Mercedes and get a smart charger included. A smarter charger needs to be used if you plan on leaving it connected for a while. Most service chargers don't even know if a battery is connected.
