Paul,

I have one called battery minder, I used it on my motorbike for 4 years and now it's on the cobra. They are only around $50 and worth evry cent. You local Stupid cheap should have them.

A little more expensive but they are very good.

Recently bought the 3600 model from Kulkyne Kampers, $122 delivered.

They are supposed to be a really smart charger.......smart enough to get me to buy one.

Now that I am building a cobra, my boat battery keeps going flat.

The C-Tek should sort that for me.

Jaycar do an intelligent charger for about $70.

It examines the state of the battery and then applies a charging regime which helps to maintain the battery, then goes into trickle mode. Happy with mine.

I Use the CTEK 3600 works fine, buy it on E-Bay. Will do full charge as well as trickle charge!!

I'm going for the CTEK 7000 as it is capable of 16V for AGM batteries, which I have. It also has a supply mode to provide 12v power when you don't have a battery. $215 on eBay, delivered. The 3600 model is about half that if you don't need the extra features.
