It seems that they no longer carry the WM-2500A model any longer. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be a suitable replacement? Thanks.

I'm sure the other ones can do the job. I just felt better with this one kno wing it was actually made for that type of battery, and it would be set to t he right mode automatically if the power went out and came back on.

I suggest that you do not need a "tender". You need something that can recharge the battery whenever it has been run down. Most any automatic charger with an AGM switch will do...as long as you only charge things when you are present. AGM batteries have a very low self discharge rate, and if there was no leakage of current, would be very fresh after 3 months of sitting. If you want a genuine Odyssey charger, you can go with https://www.batterymart.com/p-obc-12a-odyssey-portable-charger.html or https://www.batterymart.com/p-obc-6a-odyssey-portable-charger.html Both a lot less than the overpriced Battery minder models. Again, I would NOT leave a charger of any kind on a battery unattended. There are several unnecessary risks.
