Could buy another one, same brand/type, and use the charger for both.

I charge one of mine with a plug in battery charger/booster clipped to the alligator leads. I have a smart charger that goes into trickle mode when fully charged. No problems with overheating yet. Using it now to top off my deep cycle batteries that I hope I wont need for the hurricane.
