The only thing that just broke this year is the meter to tell you what it's putting out so I use a multimeter to check it. Still works great after 20 years and might even be longer that that. And cost me nothing. Just two clips so I wouldn't get anything to complicated just a reg charger with different settings will work fine. That's what I would get

That's funny, because I have a backup charger with just those settings. Made by Schumacher I think. Came out of my dad's cellar when he passed away, but that thing is at least 20 years old... (more like 30-40) and it still works when I plug it in.... and yes, the plastic cover to the meter broke last year. I taped a piece of Lexan plastic over the meter to protect it. Just gotta remember that even @ 2 amps you can cook a battery. So I set my wife"s cooking timer and check the battery every 2 hours.
