Hi Greendog,

Ive got a 56ah battpack (didnt know they made a 75ah) and I charge it with a 7ah Ctek M100. It plugs into 240v. Doesnt need to be Ctek , any good quality charger will do as long as it automatically shuts itself off when its fully charged

I also charge it whist on the road using an Engel dc-dc charger(BCF have them at the mo for $50) ussually $150. It need to be hard wired (which isnt that hard) but if you arent confident an auto elec will do reasonably cheaply. It charges at 10 amps.

Cheers Wilko

there are several chargers on the market for around $ 50.-
It will apply small charges to keep the battery full. I bought a PROJECTA from AUTO ONE. It comes w/ several different connecting options which can be very useful.
