I use a Noco 5 on ours. Use to have a Noco 1 for the bike as well. Good products.

I use a CTEK MXS3.

You can hard-wire in a socket so you just plug-in and switch on (two of our cars have battery covers so saves taking them off each time). Or use the crocodile clips in the normal way.

Ive used the Deltran Battery tender for years.
It charges, but also maintains. It will not overcharge your battery.

I bought a Chinese cheapy off Ebay for the dicky AGM battery on the daily. Works great on most stuff, does trickle & pulse charging, digital tech has made 'em cheaper: feels like there's nowt inside it.

I have a lidl one which does the job well and seems to have the same features as branded options that are three times the price.
