Best battery charger

If you want the best look for a Ctek. They are a bit hard to find (I think Interstate Batteries carries them), but great chargers.
They come with a pigtail that you can connect to your battery and just plug in for full time maintenance.
Their web site has some pretty good info.

I second the schumacher. this is the one i use at home. its never failed me. and I've loaded it up on 200a start setting with dead diesels in the heart winter. pure gold.
the first one i bought was a cheap Vector brand one, total trash, fan killed on me and it overheated thus killing itself. sense then i bought a diehard one and its pretty good. for starting i use a optima battery on a dolly and some jumper cables. for that i have a Battery Tender that keeps it charged. for autos you dont drive all the time a Battery Tender is the way to go. hook it up and forget about it. it wont start a dead battery but it keeps them charged
