I have gone through several of them on my car in the racecar hauler. Nothing like going out to pull the car out in the spring and find that the tender failed and the battery...and OBD readiness...are stone dead.

I bought one of these (NOCO GENIUS2D on-board charger) on Black Friday sale for $29, but haven't had a chance to install it yet:

I use this model on my F-250 diesel which has two inline 850CCA batteries and it's still has enough juice to keep it topped up in the winter.
