    Thanks for all the replies!

    I got a CTEK Multi XS4003 which did the trick and has lots of useful features.

    Yep, bought exactly the same one to keep the RRC connected to while not in use. Cost me $107+ nails from Ashdowns.

    Anyone considering a Ctek should check out the Ozcharge first before making the decision. I did a fair bit of research into Ctek/Ozcharge/Projecta and ended up going the Ozcharge - and the real world performance is proving to be as good as the theory - the 2/10/21 amp combo allows you to pump in heaps of charge into AGMs in a short period of time and much better VFM than equivalent Ctek

    X2 !

    I have the same 2/10/21 charger. Has a good feature set for calcium batteries, as well as AGM, and wet cells. I managed to recover a customers dead ride on mower battery that read 0.67v and wouldn't charge up on the automtive type charger at work. Ran the battery on a rejuvination cycle for 12hrs, then charged it with the equalisation option set, at 2A, and the battery fully recharged. Static voltage after 6hrs 12.75v Battery re-installed and all's good.

    ... could have been a fluke too ...

    Cost was $200. A good charger for not too many dollars.
