I am looking at battery chargers and the ctek 3.6 amp is looking good but as I don't know nuttin about them any advice would be appreciated.
It is to charge a 130ah trojan?

The C Tek is a great charger.. have one myself for the CT
The big advantage of the C tek is that it has low ripple and so won't overheat your battery. We leave ours on on permanently and have no problems at all.
Read up about ripple on the Ctek
wb site.
I'm an auto sparky by trade but it is explained in simple terms.

I had a CTEK 7000 (7Amp) but recently upgraded to the CTEK 25 Amp model. The 7 Amp was a great piece of kit, but as I have 2x 120AH AGMs in parrallel in the CT, I went for the bigger one to charge much faster. I seem to get a full charge overnight now when it used to take much longer (more than 24 hours) with the 7 Amp model.
Great chargers. Fool proof, which is what I need.
I certainly wouldn't go for anything less than 7 Amp.
