The Steca looks interesting. It's got float, leds and fuse holder to
boot. As long as its got a blocking diode then that looks a good one
to go with. Even if not, you can easily add one.

It does have a blocking diode. I've ordered the Steca-5-c, and will test
it for proper switching to float voltage before using it on the glider
batteries. I didn't notice that it had a fuse - nice touch.
