Charging batteries individually is the only way to go. The Chargetek 500 is
great, used it for two years now and my 4 year plus old batteries are very
happy. It is permanently mounted behind/below the companion seat of the
deuce. When parked at home, the truck is always within reach of an extension
cord to the house (120 vac needed).
