    What kind of battery maintainer do you recommend? I want to get one with that right specs to maintain the brand new AGM battery I just bought for my 2010 Prius. I don't drive it much--it's my back-up car, but after reading posts on this forum, it looks like I'll need to drive it every month or two to keep the Hybrid Battery alive. I have 120V where the car is parked.

    Noco Genius5, it has very solid voltage and amperage controler with very solid output. It also have much better built with higher quality components. Metal switch, not plastic like CTEK, 5 capacitors filters, good rectifiers, coated PCB boards, and filled with silicon to protect from moisture.

    You could get a solar trickle charger. It's a low enough amperage you won't have to worry
    about over charging it.
