Recommend a decent battery charger

As the title really, can anybody recommend a decent battery charger, the one I have was originally for my bike so hasn't got the greatest grunt.

I've got a couple of Ctek trickle chargers that I use on my bike and the Landy (which has two AGM sealed deep-cycle batteries) and never had any issues with them. Friend of mine uses an Optimate and raves about it, does a similar job of cycling the battery as well as charging.

I also use an Oxford optimate and never had any problems, only downside is they seem to struggle charging a battery that is really low ie 5 volt or so

Can't recall the model no. but I've had a Halfords one for several years. Charged a few 2.0 diesel engine batteries with it no problem.

I use a Ring RSC508 for all my charging. It's great. You can leave it on charge permanently, its got a desulphate function and it's good for 8A but you can also set it to 2/4/6 amps. Not cheap but....

The only bad thing about it is it has an led light powered by a non rechargeable battery. But seeing as I never use the light..

This one gets good recomendations, Just over £57 if you have a trade card.

Bought one yesterday but yet to use it.
