I am using a Walmart EverStart Maxx unit. Seems to do a fine job.

I have had good service from Schumacher.

I have the NOCO Genius 1. I keep it attached to my RZR as a trickle charger, but also charges my deep cycle battery for my trolling motor over night flawlessly.

NOCO is good, CTEK is another good one.

I have a NOCO Genius 5. It works very well but it's slow. I should have got a Genius 10.
The Genius chargers have a Li setting. I have 2 100amp Li batteries in a camp trailer. When they're run down, the Genius 5 takes a couple days to charge them. I finally put a dedicated 20amp charger in the trailer. MUCH faster.

I’m leaning toward the Noco Genius 10 I looked at the CTEK more money and kinda hard to find. The Exide I had was a good charger I looked on eBay for one none there.I tore the burnt up one apart it appears the negative and positive wires to the battery rubbed thru at the case.We have a couple NOCOs on tilt trailers at work it takes a full day plus to charge them There older NOCOs

Hate all the new ones.
Have a buddy that is the manager of a couple batteries bulbs etc stores and he suggested chargers made by Associated Eqt as your best bet. They are more spendy that the box store chargers and the schumacher chargers, but they work and they last.
I am in the market for one now.
