According to the engineers at Odyssey, you are better off never charging your PC680 than using a Battery Tender or Battery Tender Jr. Something about the maintained voltage not being high enough and the 680 will eventually "learn" a lower top end voltage. The Odyssey folks recommend their charger designed specifically for Odyssey batteries. The Schumacker 1562A from WalMart is a good substitute, according to Electric Bob on the Aeroelectric list.

I have one of these Battery Tender Juniors in my -7.  The nice thing about it is

that it stops charging and goes into trickle mode

automatically when the battery is charged.
