CTEK or NOCO. Latter is the newer challenger brand (US design verses Sweden who are Ctek but both made in China). NOCO has benefit of also doing AGM+, 24V Lithium Ion and a 15AMP quick 'jump' start mode and 5 year warranty.

I run both

CETEK MXS10 or NOCO GS15000 and both good.

My pal has the NOCO GS26000 which he uses for his garage. It a beast.

Kindest,

J.

NOCO are the best I've ever come across https://no.co/products/charging/multipurpose

If you get the leads the indicator shows the battery condition https://no.co/gc015

Loads of other adaptors available too
