As an engineer who had a barn burn down before, I'm as safety conscience as the next guy regarding "electrical stuff" in a shop or barn etc.
I dont consider those low energy low current maintainers as overly hazardous and I sure as heck do NOT consier you stupid and enjoy your opinions.
In my opinion the mounting and location and safety and care of the cords and extensions is as or more important then the units themselves. NEVER have the cords running around on the ground where hay or straw etc is abundant and keep away from over tops of gas tanks etc and when you place the charger leads or cords etc consider where they could fall and what hazards it may create.
A GREAT SAFETY DEVICE which the NEC started requiring a while back are the ARC FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS. They have circuit breakers of course, but if they make an auxiliary plug in (as they do GFCI's) device now that would be great for shop or barn use on units such as those maintainers.......... If one had a dusty straw and hay area (but ARENT MOST LOL) where a tractor and with maintainer are stored, my advice would be to look into use of an AFCI breaker or add on which really improves safety.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
