Default Boat chargers

I want one of those smart trickle chargers so when I bring my boat back in,
I can just plug in a two prong fitting and have my batteries (2 12v.)
topped off and kept topped off. IIRC, these are an amp or less, and are
about $35. I want the kind that cannot overcharge. Am I in the ballpark?
Brand name suggestions.

PS: Sorry to interrupt the important stuff with a boat question.


$35 won't do it. You need a dual charger. I have a smart charger from
Walmart. Will not boil the battery and will charge to 35 amps. Was about
$70. Will only do one battery at a time.
