Battery

Does any one use a battery maintainer to keep the battery fully charged at all times. As if I dont drive my 34 1101 for 7-10 days it seems like the battery is a little run down. as I have two new (this Spring) red top optima batterys in the car and the generator rewired from AER a year ago so it should all should be good? The charging rate is about 7 amp and it does not show charging until between 15 and 20 mph. So driving on a city street it is really not charging the cars battery and if I drive 4-5 miles at 35-40 mph it does not put the battery at fully charged only 50% according to the battery charger when I hook it up to the car batteries.

I do have cut off on the battery so I know the current from the battery is not being drawn off some where due to a short.
So wondering if any one has similar problems.
