[AT] Rewinch batteries

[Mike]

With the price of batteries going through the roof (if you haven't 
shopped for one lately be prepared to gulp), I'm a firm believer in 
battery maintainers for batteries that aren't used all that often. I can 
get a Deltran Battery Tender Jr. for $23 bucks through the Walmart 
website, with free ship to store.  They're $35 in the store, so I'm not 
sure how they make money shipping something to their store, then selling 
it for $12 buck cheaper than the one on the shelf but I don't care they 
work well.
