I have been a devoted user of both Battery Minder and
Battery Tender products for the charging/maintenance
of wet, svla, and automotive lithium batteries for
decades.
Got a half dozen or more of these things in my
shop. While their charge rate is pedestrian (less
than 1.0A) they DO ultimately top-off a lead-acid
device and subsequently MAINTAIN it indefinitely.
Sadly, my go-to favorites have been creeping up in
price for some time which has prompted me to put
a dip-stick into the emerging market of battery
charger/maintainers.
I've had one of these things for awhile . . .

. . . and used it to conduct some battery performance
tests as well as mitigate some battery issues on
my vehicles.
I can report that they do a credible (and much
stronger) job of battery charging compared
to my 'wall warts' (8 amps). They've got some
'features' that presumably favor seasonal
variation in battery performance as well as
a 'pulse repair' mode.
I've not yet confirmed that these 'extra' features are
valuable but I can tell you that the charge/maintenance
modes for wet and SVLA technologies are solid.
I'll have some data plots to share in future but
in the mean time, the current price for this
product is very competitive with the BatteryMinder/
BatteryTender alternatives.
I've also acquired a piece of test equipment
that is of exceptional utility/value . . .
watch this space.
