Looking for a good deep cycle battery charger
I have a 10' John boat with electric motor, maybe once a year I will take it out. Any recommendations on a good reasonable priced charger. Thanks Mike

Do you already have a car charger? Trickle charger? Given your once a year use, and how a deep cycle battery takes 100 cycles before it even gets broken in, your battery will age out before it dies from cycles.
Since thats the case no need to get crazy with a charger. Any 12v charger will work. I use the Harbor Freight cheapy from time to time. It does have a "regular" setting for charging flooded batteries.
If you have cars or motorcycles that sit and have wanted to buy a battery tender that would work as well to charge your boat battery. Could get multiple use out of it.
