    I'll throw my vote on the Deltran pile... Many years of excellent service from mine.
    some of the Yusas batteries that I've endured; not so much...

    Junior will do quite nicely...
    You don't want to try and force-feed the juice to your battery; they don't like it rough!

    Either will work, but the 1.25 amp Plus is recommended for large AGM batteries.

    Years ago, MCN rated one of the Yuasa multi-step chargers as the best they had tested.
