There are very smart chargers out there today, and they're
totally worth it if you ever do more than just bring up an
occasionally dead battery. They do high-frequency pulse stuff
to de-sulphate the plates under micriprocessor control and
will never overcharge; they do the proper three-step charge
process. The old Sears or auto store type with a transformer,
rectifier and meter will cook a battery, though I'd use one to
bring up a car after leavin the lights on by accident, etc.

With an electric vehicle it would be in your best interest to
go with the smart chargers.
