Default Battery Minder vs monthly drive

I will be replacing the 8 x6v batteries in my 2007 ParCar shortly, and was wondering if I should invest in a Battery Minder at the same time. The alternative is to have someone come in once a month while I'm away to give the cart a run and hook up the charger if needed. I would like to get as many years as possible out of these 8 batteries, and if the addition of the Battery Minder will make a difference vs the monthly exercise, it will be worth it. So, will the Battery Minder add a year or two to the batteries, or will the simple monthly "exercise" do as well?
