Default Battery conditioner...

The battery on my car keeps going flat, (it sits for weeks at a time without moving/getting started) and im too lazy to keep taking it out to charge it.

Does anyone use a battery conditioner, is it any good, and is there one people can recommend?

Id prefer one that is permanently fitted/wired to the batt and i can use an external (detachable) plug to hook it into the mains

C-TEK or OPTIMATE, both excellent products, that can be left permanently connected, as they are also AC spike protected.
Just fitted a OPTIMATE to an old dears car near me, as she uses it once a month for 3 miles!!
Anyway that came with a lead/plug to go on the battery.
