I use one of those Aldi/Lidl chargers mentioned by this group last year.
It goes into 'maintenance cycle' after initial boost.

I built one in to the old Rover. In the spare wheel well. With a
waterproof mains plug under the bumper. Only slight snag is you have to
press the button on it to set it to charge after powering up.

OT but one of the main differences beween the Lidl and Aldi models were the
displays (LCD vs LED)

I assume my Aldi XS model is LED, yes? :-

I dunno the current ones. My Lidl one just has LED indicators. Which for
my application is better - as you'd not be able to read LCD.
