I am going to be away from my homestead for long periods of time, up to 6 months.
The house will be for sale during this time and the realtors would like there to be power available for showings.
Basically just lights for a few minutes here and there.

Is there a way to keep the battery minimally charged without boiling so much that the electrolyte will need topped off over a period of many months?
Like a trickle charge or something?
