I have three types on the go. A Black and Decker, a Lidl’s and a Ctek. The B&B is a pain as its very sensitive to the battery contact resistance if using crock clips. The Lidl’s is a great bit of kit for the price but doesn’t recover should the power go off. The CTEK is hassle free, just fit and forget.

I'm using the Ctek XS 0.8 which is very good.

A few years ago, I met a chap who had a GT40 replica burnt to a crisp because it was in a garage with a cheap battery "conditioner" on his lawnmower. Fortunately the fellow and his wife escaped with their lives.
NEVER buy a cheap battery conditioner/charger.

Optimate; originally designed for motorbike batteries, but brilliant bit of kit. That is what I have....branded Triumph, too.
