I also have had excellent service from several small, Schumacher Electric
1.5-2 ampere battery float type battery maintainers.

That's what I use on my start battery.

The trolling motor batteries are charged off the built in float
charger.

Never charge the start battery, as seems to not need it. The trolling motor
batteries are charged with a Vector 1093 smart charger. Will pump out 35
amps and might be the thing for Eisbocks batteries.

I'd need three of them. Frankly, I haven't had good luck with Vector
chargers. I've had three of them and they all died an early death. The
switching power supply craps out.

The equivalent Schumacher smart chargers haven't died yet although one has a
sticky fan that doesn't always like to start.
