Default car battery optimisers

can anyone reccomend a good car batter trickle charger/optimiser for my escos.

ive seen the optimate one for motorbike batteries, but only supports upto about 28ah, ive got a 75 ah one on, would it work ok, its just to keep the battery from draining with teh alarm and tracker while its tucked up in the garage.
