I know it's $50 for a little charger, but it is very, very smart, and 
will desulphate as well. I've talked with the designers (I needed one 
for gel cell batteries; if you pop the top off this one there's trimpots 
to tweak the terminal and transition voltages), this is not a toy. It's 
got a microprocessor that monitors battery state and will keep the 
battery like new.

It won't bring up a totally drained battery; it has to be above 10 volts 
or it won't start up. But you can leave this thing on all the time and 
it will never harm anything, won't overcharge, etc.

Eh, it's not exactly "Rambler" but it is directly applicable to old 
cars, especially those not driven every day.
