What do you mean by battery tender? My electronic battery charger seems to indicate it will not charge this type of battery. Got any brand names?

Battery Tender is the brand. Style that U can hook 2 a battery a leave it cuz it will shut itself off and come back on as needed. It will not over cook the battery. I leave 1 hooked 2 a pontoon battery all winter long.
