If you decide to use a 110v gadget to maintain your battery, be wary of cheap trickle chargers. Buy a real battery charger that has an automatic mode. The charger should have circuitry to monitor your battery and feed it power only when it needs it. Many cheap trickle chargers are simple transfomers that pump a small current to the battery no matter what. Over time, they can damage your battery.

I toasted batteries in my lawn tractor three years in a row until I found the error of my ways. I now use a full size Sears charger.
