[V8] Little battery maintainers

[Bryan Kamerer]

I have used these for ages with motorcycles, and for  while now with my V8,
too.  I have had one or two fail.  Usually it's pointless.  Unless it's  an
obvious wire/ground fault clearly visible, it's the circuitry on the solid
state card and that is not easy to repair unless you have some skill.
