I should've seen that. I think my brain thought it was part of your signature and skipped it. My brain is a PITA anymore.

I would think that any 10-15 amp charger that is compatable with FiFePO batteries would do.

What are folks doing that has worked?
The ***9.5A*** Optimate that they (EarthX) offer should do the job.

I have used one for quite some time with no issues. Multiple EFIS displays plus a navigator.
