Don,

Check with a couple of marine dealers in your area. Boaters around here keep a charger on their boat batteries all winter to prevent the battery from freezing as the specific gravity drops.

I also liked the idea suggested for the solar charger. Are you familiar with Bob Pease of National Semiconductor? I recall he published an article or two about home brew Solar battery chargers in EDN magazine. Search for pease porrige. Good chance to keep the tip of your soldering iron clean and hot.
