I bought something similar at Autobarn last year.
Wired the battery with leads that run up into the hump, and I plug it in the night before I use it (I only ride once a week if I'm lucky). That and keeping the battery terminals clean and gunge free means no problems.
The charger I got was meant to be used for vintage cars etc, ie low use vehicles, and the whole charger is meant to be installed inside the engine bay and permanently hooked to the battery. The idea is that you plug a 240V lead into it when it's parked. On the Busa I did the opposite and mounted the charger on a wall and made up some short and long leads with plugs on the end, finally a set of alligator clamps with a plug set as well. So I can do the bike or car or anyone elses that happens to stray into the garage.Designed to lift the battery charge then keep it full for weeks on end.
Worth it!
