best battery charger for deep cycle
 
was just reading that some chargers can be bad for your battery , I'm currently using a 10 amp charger , tried to do some research and saw some different options,m an onboard, a mobile and some others , any advice would be appreciated

I understand that you should never allow a deep cycle battery run less than 80% and you should charge them immediately after use , any other pointers?

I have one of these that I use to charge my Optima cranking battery - http://www.marinco.com/en/2612a
For my two trolling motor deep cycles I have an on-board 2 bank Minn Kota charger, 10 amps per bank. Depending on whether you have flooded wet cell or AGM batteries make sure your charger is compatible. I hear good things about the NOCO Genius chargers and they are more compact and lighter than most.

Appreciate it, I currently have a 10amp that has a setting for a wet cell or agm, never thought about it until I read an article saying the wrong charger can ruin your battery but nowhere in the article does is tell you what are the correct chargers so I kind of panicked and came here to ask the experts lol
