The next thing I'd like to do is get my 5A soneil charger installed in the car. I've been topping off the battery every other night or so with a normal charger. This means popping the hood, hooking it it up, selecting the right charge settings, etc. I had the 5A soneil charger on the Paseo when I ran an alternator delete on that car. It worked great. Just plug it in and unplug it in the morning. Its also much more efficient than my other charger when charging, and doesn't have a large standby loss either.

There is still a list of things to do, but thats what is probably next to extend the life of the battery.
