I have used the Schumacher brand charger for years with good luck but there may be more or better brands out there. I use a solar Battery Tender for my UTV and it works great. I have the solar panel on my shed and it maintains the battery year round. The BT brand is a bit more but there are Chinese ones on Amazon that will do the job.
Lol...while I was typing so were others...

Not totally true Hill...some / many battery chargers only charge lead acid batteries. You don’t want to use a high amp lead acid charger on an AGM battery as you will destroy it. AGM need slow low amperage charging. Most smart chargers have selector switches for the type of battery being charged.
