Battery Charger Recommendations Please

I'm in the market for a new battery charger. I'm looking at these two units:

1. Schumacher PSC-12500A DSR ProSeries (recommended by members Boondocking and B&B on a separate thread http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...ies-76033.html) on sale on Amazon.ca for CAD$129.

2. NOCO Genius G7200 on sale at Canadian Tire for CAD$135

I need something to charge both the 12v flooded deep cycle for the TT and a 12v AGM for my motorcycle. I don't need the starter function.

Anybody have experience with either charger? Any other models?

I have the Noco 7200. I use it several times per week, from maintaining my RV batteries to my vehicles, and even my kids power wheels. So far I really like this charger.

I use the gel type batteries (4) to start the race car and had to buy the batteries recomended charger eventhough i charge 1 at a time. think it's due to they don't like a quick charge type charger.

I just came across this one, but it might be a little big for your rig

Yup.

I ended up ordering the Schumacher model. A little higher amps when needed and a bit lower price.

Don Schumacher will thank you. He owns 7/8 profesional drag race teams and has more money than God!

Ctek model 4.3

I just bought one so I can apply the high voltages needed to equalize GC2 6v golf cart batteries. It has a rejuvenate mode that desulphates at 15.8v

Amazon.com: CTEK (56-864) MUS 4.3 12-VoltBattery Charger: Automotive

Or they have a bundle option that comes with a wall hanger and 9' extension cable for $83

Amazon.com: CTEK Fall Bundle Package - Includes CTEK56-864, CTEK56-304, and CTEK40-006: Automotive

I have used a Battery Tender for years with great results. It will not overcharge.
