Skip, I use to do it your way and every so often forget about it. About 4-5 years ago I went to the tender, which seems to work will.

But my newest method with the timer and tender is more about conserving electric. 2 hour a day vs 24 hours a day??? I got on a kick to reduce my electric bill. My usage is about the same as 15 years ago, but the bill is almost 2X.
