Finally tossed this old Craftsman battery charger that I've had for years. Pretty much stopped working and I never was that happy with it in the first place.

Looking a quality, not not hugely expensive ("Pro"), charger that can charge 12V car/truck batteries as well as Deep Cycle marine batteries.

I bought an EverStart at Wally World

CTEK MUS 4.3 is a fantastic charger that does everything - except high amp jumpstart - it's too little to jumpstart. Anything from a tiny powersports battery to deep cycle marine to large heavy equipment batteries - charge, maintain, recondition, it works great.

I'll definitely take a look. Thanks.

I bought mine from Napa Auto Parts and it's been pretty good. I recently broke the know off that controls the setting from slow charge, to fast charge to jump starting, so I have to deal with that. Otherwise, it's been great.

I second the NOCO products, have one of their older models on my 6.0 Diesel Excursion that is our trip and pleasure vehicle and it's excellent at maintaining and conditioning my batteries.

This is the one that replaced the model I have:

NOCO - 5-Amp Smart Battery Charger - GENIUS5

Highly suggest the John Deere battery jump starter and charger.
It has never failed to jump large dual battery diesel farm tractors, backhoes and dump trucks for me. I found mine used on CL for $75 and its a real gem.
It is on a cart, so nice to roll right to where you want it.
