Simple 110V-12V car battery charger?
I'm exhausted and depressed after reading reviews on Amazon. "Multistage" chargers that have only 2 stages (sometimes 1). Bulk stage running at 16-17V 'cause some idiot imbedded a "desulfation" mode...

I have been carrying one of these 10/6/2 smart mode battery charger now for years. This is a very small footprint multimode charger and fits under my truck rear seat storage.

I do have problem sometimes using this as it will not stay out of ALARM MODE if the battery has really been discharged some. I have to charge at it lowest rate some before going to the higher mart mode charging mode...
Since my 2KW Honda Generator always sits secured in my covered tail gate area of my truck bed this is much better using to bring a slightly discharged battery rather then hitting it with a jumper cable with 100's of DC amps available. I get to run my generator then as well as it needs started sometimes too...
You know what we retired guys do taking the wife to the grocery store and end up sitting in the parking lot playing with the Ham Radio waiting on Momabear running down the Truck start battery...
