Battery Charger/tender suggestions?

Question

Getting ready for the memorial day weekend, and we need to charge up the batteries. We have no power at the storage and no space near our house to plug in. Only options we have is to bring the batteries home to charge.

So, what do you recommend to charge 2, 6v batteries? Battery charger? battery tender? what brand/style? Should we also keep them on a battery tender when not in use?

Best option would be 100 watts solar on the roof and a good controller.

Aside from that most any automatic charger rated 10+ amps should work fine. Even a manual charger is fine... just have to keep an eye on it and stop when the meter says less than 2 amps.

Hopefully they have been stored disconnected so they are not flat dead.

Here's  what I use. They are good at honoring their warranty too. I had to return one for replacement just barely within the 2-year free replacement window.
