What I want is a low amp battery charger that will cut itself off completely when the battery becomes fully charged. This will be sort of a "maintainer".

I tried a Schumacher 6/12 volt charger that used vague language to suggest that it would do the above. I tried it on 2 different batteries and it never shut off. It appeared to be over-charging the batteries, so I returned it to the seller.

Is there any "maintainer" charger that really completely stops the charging when the battery becomes fully charged?
