AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet...

i bought this one ages ago and it's been pretty good at charging my truck battery overnight since the alternator handed in its notice. Charges until full then stops.

 

 cheap enough for me

On my noco

Agreed I have a 2amp Noco charger.  It charges everything from a quad to a tractor battery (this just takes longer, just ignore the % charged dial and keep going).  I like the fact that as standard they come with a leads that can easily be used with crocodile clips or connected permanently to the battery as a trickle charger. The downside is that they are a bit "smart" and can sometimes refuse to charge older or heavily de-charged batteries.  As above I might just buy a couple more 1amp noco chargers and use them as trickle chargers.  

 

I'm after a new jump pack.  I have an ancient one made by RAC that won't hold charge more than a few hours, although you can charge it from a cigarette lighter which is a great when you are on the way to rescue someone!

 

My noco charger has a function to charge flat batteries when it won't detect them. Basically just puts out current then after a bit you can charge it on the smart charge.

i think thats only on the more expensive noco chargers. Its good to hear you have found this works.

I've got this one, the connector in the flying lead seems somewhat standard so you can easily find packs of leads for connection to several batteries or if you have motorcycle etc with inaccessible battery.

 

I have put a short cable with connector to the battery on my trailer to save tipping it up to charge.

Agreed I think those are the standard US connectors (SAE) so should be very compatible.
