Looks like I need to find a good trickle charger that won't fry anything else in a fairly complex network of electronics on board. Any suggestions?
The battery tender pro is a pretty good trickle charger. It has a microchip to prevent overcharge.

I've seen them used on the most high-end cars, should be ok on an FR-S / BRZ
