Yes, The one's I've seen cost a little more then the 12 volt versions, but can't say I looked very hard. When I was at one of my remote properties in Northern Michigan, I needed a half-dozen 12 volt maintainers. Locally, the only ones I found were Schumacher brand - 2 amp with a 6 volt and 12 volt selector switch. I didn't need the 6 volt function, but I was n a hurry to leave and did not have time to order something cheaper on-line. I don't recall the model # but both Advance Auto and Walmart had them. Has a 1 or 2 amp selector switch and a 6 volt or 12 volt selector switch. They cost around $24 each.

I've got a Ford F250 diesel truck (with two batteries), along with a backhoe, two tractors and a dozer that sit in MI all winter, locked up. Thus the need for the maintainers - or the batteries would get ruined.

I usually buy my 12 volt maintainers on-line for $15-$18 each.

I see Schumacher know shows a 6V-12V maintainer a little then the ones I got. This new one has automatic voltage sensing and a 2 year warranty. I suppose it costs more also.
