I abandoned Battery Tender trickle chargers years ago after they cooked several of my batteries to death.
I initially used Optima smart chargers as they had a relationship with Odessey Batteries, which I use in my boat, Z8 and Motorcycle. As those are getting pretty old, I have decided to start replacing them with CTek smart chargers, mostly due to their Battery regeneration cycle which can bring an older discharged battery back to life with a program of charge cycles that optimize the battery charging process (takes 24 hours) rather than just upping the amperage of the charging.
What I didn't know, and maybe already a well known fact is that there is a Ford Branded version of the chargers. Yeah, it costs more to have that blue oval logo on there, but being a Ford loyalist, I was willing to pay the extra to have that.
