Saving a battery

I'M RESTORING a 1942 Jeep. CAN I keep the six-volt battery in good condition by leaving it on a trickle charger?

A BATTERY needs to be recharged every 12 weeks. You can put it on a charger for 10-12 hours then, or on a trickle charger if the charger switches off when the battery is fully charged.
