I've had good luck charging and maintaining a variety of batteries with 
the BatteryMINDer Model 12248.  It has settings for AGM, flooded cell, 
and Gel batteries, and settings to charge at 2, 4, and 8 amperes.  The 
only caution: the signal it uses to desulfate batteries will negatively 
affect the quality of your signal if you charge the battery while 
transmitting.  I switch to another charger if it becomes necessary to 
both charge and transmit simultaneously.
