Having been recently down the "Charger" path, I would look at getting something like a Progressive Dynamics 9100 series charger and get the optional charge wizard. Throw a high amp connector/plug set on there and battery clamps for general charging and call it done. Don't play with the off the shelf consumer "battery" chargers. It will be the last charger you buy. I know, I now have three different consumer off the shelf chargers of various capacities sitting in the shop.

To the poster talking about 2 chargers, I am looking for just a battery charger and plan to use maintainers when needed, I picked up 2 Stanley's when Lowes had them on sale a few months ago. Mainly I need to keep 3 deep cycles charged for my boats and maybe charge the trailer batteries when there off the trailer like they currently are.
Took my trailer back to the shop Monday and after all the stories on this board about repair shops killing batteries I pulled them and put my oldest group 24 marine cranking battery on the trailer just to have tongue jack power. Figured I would check batteries with the hydrometer and give them a good charge while they were off but my 20 year old Die Hard charger took a dump.
