 Not sure if they are available in the US or if they
 are marketed under a different name but I use an
 Optimate on all three of my bikes - alternating ( no
 pun intended ) them around. The Optimate doesn't
 overcook any battery and will reveive seeingly dead
 ones and keeps the bikeyou use the most topped up. 
 
 
 
 It will test batteries when first connected and is
 first class in my opinion.

 Rich,
 
 Schumacher makes a product ,I think they call it a
 "Battery Maintainer". It is a generic Battery Tender
 that costs about $17 at Walmart. I have one Battery
 Tender ( the first one I bought) and two of the
 Schumachers, and find them to be every bit as good.
 I
 bought the first Schumacher when I felt I just
 needed
 more than one unit. (In the winter, I had 4-5 bikes,
 a
 car, and a boat battery to maintain. Thank God that
 number has dwindled somewhat...). I decided to move
 one bike out to my Mom's out west to have something
 to
 ride there, so I bought a second Schumacher for it.
 So
 now I have one of each here at home, two units, and
 only 3-4 batteries to maintain. I rotate them, but
 of
 course can keep two on at once. I feel the
 Schumacher
 is as good as the Battery Tender, costs 1/3 as much.
 To answer your amp question, I think either unit is
 strong enough, you will not toast a battery with a
 maintainence unit such as these...Best of luck,
 
 John
