My 40 year old steel case 6 amp automotive battery charger finally

I only want to replace it (and I don't want a contraption that jumps
cars).

I just want a new 120VAC simple sturdy 12VDC automotive car battery
charger.
And I don't get out to the stores much lately.

Mine had an analog meter, and a 6V/12V switch (which I never used at
6V).
If they still come with an analog amperage needle, that would be
nice.

Any advice where to get a good simple sturdy 12VDC battery charger
online?

Here is Amazon least expensive charger with meter

URL says motorcycle but it's also for autos.* 5 amp w/digital meter
for
more than just amps


I don't have that brand but it does have a feature older chargers
don't:

That link is pushing their own chargers but the technology is the same.

Reports are that the "pulse tech" charging concept is nonsense.


Reports say Bob F is full of ****. Fortunately I have him in a kill file
so I only see his name when Clare replies. Ever use one to rejuvenate an
older battery or are you just reading 'reports'?

Yeah, that's why I needed to use mine in pulse mode. Note, I had to
force it into pulse mode otherwise live with it saying the battery was
knackered.
