I had a lot of interference with a Cristec battery charger on both FM radio
and VHF. Cured it by replacing it with a Sterling charger.

What make is yours?

Most of the "Noisy" Marine Battery Chargers, use an SCR to
control the charging duty cycle. These are notoriously noisy
as the SCR "Rings" when triggered, causing the noise. OEM's
like this system because it is CHEAP to build. Any good
Linear Regulated Charger will be much quieter, if not silent.
If noise is your problem, spend you money on a good Linear
Regulated Charger.
