Question Good trickle charger

What does everyone recommend for a good trickle charger for 2005 GT?

Also would you trickle charge both batteries same time or just driver side battery?

Hi - I think most of us use the ctek unit (my model has been discontinued but it's similar to this one:

Amazon Amazon

It'll keep both batteries charged by using the cigarette lighter plug in the trunk. You'll also need a cigarette lighter plug adapter:

CTEK is way to go. You can purchase on eBay or Amazon at a very reasonable price. No need to pay for Bentley labeled device which is actually the same thing. Stay away from independent vendors such as “Juice my Ride”…… overpriced and very poor customer service. Connection will depend on vehicle year. Older models will need trunk (boot) connector , newer models with magnetic connector.

One is enough. Buy two options.
1) extensor
2) cigarette plug
