I'm using a battery tender for the starter if not driving for a week or more. Had no drain issues with the dump batteries when sitting idle for 6 weeks, so my 2 cents worth would be not to bother with a 24V tender for those.

Always unplug the Blackview when parked in the garage, though car has Cat3 rust/paint protection running 24/7.

Not a good idea to drain the starter too much as it can give the battery a memory where it won't fully recharge. Had this issue on another car, maybe the Oddessy doesn't have this issue?
