I hooked up my deuce's batteries to a pair of 12V Battery Tenders. These units are waterproof (IP67). Each one is hooked up to a battery with the quick connect plugs and I have them tucked in between the bottom of the cab and the battery box. An outdoor extension cord powers both of them (the truck is stored outside for now). They're all plugged in over the fuel tank with the plugs protected by an improvised weather cover (a modified 2-liter pop bottle). When I want to take the truck for a spin, I would disconnect the chargers from the batteries and store them and the cord inside my shop.
Is this how other people have their battery tenders set up? It makes me a little nervous having everything plugged in over the fuel tank, even though it's about half-full of diesel, but I'm not sure of a better way to route my cord to the batteries and chargers.
