I can only answer about the Schumacher SE-1 in that I have had two of these and they have worked flawlessly for me. I unadvisadly tried to charge my scooter with a charger of more than one amp. It ruined the battery. So I got the SE-1 and have used it for over 2 years with good results.

You would probably need to go with the NOCO Genius G7200 12V/24V 7200mA Fully Automatic Battery Charger and Maintainer (Grey) it has a boost mode which is what it sounds like you're looking for.

Yes. I would recommend you use a smart charger, like a Battery-Tender, that senses when the battery is getting charged and switches to a trickle charge, to avoid overcharging.

It trickle charges. The charger has no way of telling when the battery is full so it keeps supplying 5 volt power to the USB port. Personally I prefer this as it means the battery is 100% charged in the morning.

Never tried what you ask but the odds are high that it will. Trickle chargers supply a certain voltage and current level and rely upon time for the battery to accumulate the AH storage. They watch the battery voltage as it charges to decide when to stop. Since the voltage rating of the battery is the same the charger ought to stop when the battery is "full". It will just take longer to get there.

I cannot understand why people think this is a battery charger---it is a low voltage trickle charger, to be installed on your battery to keep the battery up to charge.It works over days--not hours!!

I power the unit with the smallest storage battery I could buy, and I use a small trickle charger to periodically charge it and keep the battery charged. I've never let the battery go for more than 2 or 3 weeks without the trickle charger. This works for me because the fence is close to the house. I keep both the Zareba and the trickle charger in a plastic bin with a snap-on lid, with holes for the fence wire and the extension cord for the trickle charger. The plastic bin protects the battery and charger from the weather.

Any charger that will discharge, charge, and read the actual voltage in the battery is the best, rather than just a quick charge from whatever state they are in. Slower is better (less heat). Higher quality chargers will read each battery independantly, and let you charge a single battery. Some cheap chargers must be used in pairs.

I use a Nitecore IntelliCharger. The price is actually the lowest I've seen yet. 2014 Version NITECORE i4 Intellicharge Battery Charger works great, doesn't over charge.

Any 12 V charger will work. I like the Schumacher brand if you don't mind paying a little more.

This product is an extension cord that connects between the battery tender charger and the connector to your battery. You only need one if the connector is too short or if you need to relocate the battery tender farther away from the car. I highly recommend the battery tender as a trickle charger. I have used mine for the last 10 years and my battery stays charged even in the winter months.

Yes, the old-fashioned way. Maintains a constant voltage, that causes the battery to automatically go trickle charge once it's charged

Yep. http://www.batterychargers.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductName=94026805ACP As the float a.k.a. trickle charge is very low current, it's best to disconnect the battery from the car when it isn't driven for extended periods.

I use mine to trickle charge a big marine battery than runs my automatic driveway gate. Works all winter long
