A place where I volunteer has several old tractors with 6 Volt systems with generators that have the batteries removed and placed on trickle chargers during several winter months. These batteries are AC Delco and had dried up this past winter. I haven't checked specs on the trickle chargers and I don't remember their brand right now.
