I am looking to for car battery charger that chargers at 7A to 10A charging amps. Ideally have a true float charging function. I know the cheaper chargers work but I prefer to have a known brand for peace of mind. What car battery charger are everyone using?
Used Ctek and Yokohama (yes that car battery brand) before, and now using Bosch C7. Bosch seems to be more reliable so far, been in service since 2018. It can be quite cheap especially when there is sale, and I bought mine twice at around <RM180 after applying discount vouchers.
It has a well known bug; the membrane mode selection switch tend to be less/unresponsive after some time. I have so far avoided this problem on both C7 I have by placing the charger standing/upright instead of the normal lie flat during use.

😂😂 Buy charger to use a single mode only, cannot fully utilised.
From my experience, single mode doesn't work most of the time. At some point of time, you need to use some more appropriate charging mode to rejuvenate the car battery.
All smart chargers I owned displayed same trait; they are/were too "smart". Especially so when charging EFB batteries. ave not charged AGM before as none of my cars use AGM type battery for now.
You won't get much longer battery if you use only the default smart charging program. So you should consider learning how to make full use of your smart charger(s) if you want longer battery life.
