Would anyone recommend some weatherproof charger, the "dumber" and
less sophisticated, the better. Thanks

I'm still using my dad's old 5A un-weatherproof louvered metal box.

I meant to add Schumacher Sure Fire 300, 3A, 6/12V from the '60s.
Original clamps, cord, analog meter, and everything.



Sadly, Shumacher has done like everyone else and gone to high feature
low quality Chinese-built crap.


Not quite everyone. Ig, maybe look for one of these?

Glad to see Dual Pro on that list. A Dual Pro Sportsman Edition is the one that's been keeping my sump pump batteries happy for the last 5 years or so. They claim that series is "Fully Waterproof". I can't vouch for that since the whole purpose for mine is keeping water _out_ of my basement.
