Old battery charger stopped working. What is the current recommendation for a charger and battery minder?

I’ve had good luck with Schumacher .  A little more expensive than what can be bought at HF but I’ve had good performance for planes boats and autos.

The brand, “battery tender” comes to mind and I might actually have a small one of those around that seems to behave well.  I look for a switch on the charger to allow for selection-between AGM and “wet lead acid.”  



I think Bob ran some tests on lessor brands with good results And he has a great explanation in his book on chargers that he’s expanded on in this forum, if you do a search.

  How big a charger? My local Walmart stocks a range

  of Schumacher chargers as well as the now legendary

  Battery Tender Jr.

 Battery is a PC 680 in a RV9A. 	


   Sounds like all your needing is a Battery Tender

   for battery maintenance. It will recharge your

   PC680, albeit slowly. But how often do you need

   to recharge badly depleted battery?
