Battery charger recommendations

[97tiger885]

My battery charger is dead.  I probably could fix it, but battery technology has moved on.  I need something basic that handles traditional acid/lead, AGM and gel.  Prefer plug in and forget.  Dont want it to be the size of loaf of bread, but doesnt have to be the size of a credit card.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

I really like my Xtreme charger. I've used it on a traditional lead battery for a lawn tractor, and for my AGM on the bike.

My money is on the C-tek units (literally), got  3 for differentia jobs and locations. The usual one, forget the model number, it's more small croissant than loaf, I leave it on the Roadie for up to 6 months without a problem.

I have both a Yuasa and a couple of Battery Tenders. My bikes are always plugged in when they're parked at home, and I've had zero issues with any of the 'tenders'. My batteries have been lasting 7-8 years.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have an Accumate - charges both 12v and 6v (for my fleet of elderly MZs).  It, apparently, has better recovery abilities than the 12v only Optimate.

It "float" charges so can be left attached indefinitely.

I bought  a Yuasa HotShot  for about US$40.  It is very basic but does what I need.  It charges flooded wet cell and AGM. And it has a quick disconnect which allows me to use a powerlet or clips as the attachment point.
