I spent $7 on the charger (on sale at harbor freight) and I spend $0.50 or less per tank on electricity to run it. You can't even buy the cables to relocate a battery for that cost.
My current battery is three years old, and it's toast. It can sit for a regular weekend but any longer and it won't turn the starter. The combination of extensive EOC, small capacity battery and exceptional heat (even by TX standards) is a recipe for killing batteries. The charger strings it along until it gets cold, then I'm getting a new one.
