The answer to this questin is rather simple, keep it connected to a power
supply.
The OCv of the battery should be 13.2 volts.
If it is connected to a supply with an output voltage between 13.5 and 14.1
volts it will remain reasonably well charged. Normal float charging voltage
is 14.1 volts and the informaiton that I have indicates that the battery
should ber able to survive this voltage being applied indefinately.
Therefore if you keep the battery connected to a 14.4 volt supply it will be
fully charged and ready whenever you need it. Anything much lower will keep
it alive, but will not completely restore any lost charge.
