My Triumph branded Optimate 3+ is still good after about 20 years. I also have a small Noco Genius 1 which is good for 6 volt and Lithium too. Finally for the big car batteries I use a Ring RSC608 which is versatile and can be configured for different charging rates up to 8 amps. The Ring has a noisy fan so its probably not that efficient.

I've had an Optimate III SP for many years, and it still works fine. But I only use it occasionally.

Just bought a Noco Genius from Halfords for £15 or £13.50 with trade card.

Not listed on the website so believe it to be stuff no longer sold. None in Totenham hale, as I had the last one.

Good luck.
