Battery Charger suggestion for 2006 Honda Metropolitan

I have recently purchased a 49cc Honda Metropolitan, and am considering removing the battery for the winter and trickle charging it. I have heard that the wong charger can ruin the battery, so I'd be interested in any charger models that anyone could recommend, or even just a specification for a charger.

Thanks, Bruce.

Do not use the cheap trickle chargers unless you are going to monitor them very closely. These will dry up your battery in a couple of days. The way to go is with a self monitoring charger, these you can hook up, plug in and walk away and have no worries.

This is why the Battery Tender was suggested.

I have a Black & Decker charger that I bought for $20 - 25. It adjusts the charge as the battery gets "full." I haven't had any problems with it.
