Several owners now have asked about what the best battery charger is. IMHO without a doubt the VDC Electronics BatteryMinder model 12248 is the pick. This unit has smart electronics that make long term trickle charging safe, it charges at up to an 8 amp rate to get you on your way faster in the event of a flat battery, it has pulse technology that will actually desulfate a wet cell lead acid battery, and has a charge profile mode for the new AGM batteries. It really shouldn't be considered a mere battery charger, rather it's a charger/maintainer/desulfator/conditioner.

Two methods work well for accessing your ship's battery: either use a cigarette lighter plug through the aux power socket which is wired straight to the battery, or install a pigtail (provided) onto the battery terminals that sticks out from under the seat and let's you plug in the charger whenever you need to.
