https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Numax-12V-10A-Leisure-Battery-Charger-Caravan-Campervan-Motorhome-Marine-Boat/321156058628?epid=27019363624&hash=item4ac6648e04:g:lwcAAOxyGxxSKPSO

This is the one I have.
I had it for just over 10 years. I have replaced the cooling fan twice and replaced the plug in power supply cable once. Its used just about every night. I just leave it plugged in over night and/or over a weekend.

If you are looking for one that you can permanently fix in your van then this doesn't come with a mounting provision.

Here's an example of one that will.

I don't have an experience with this charger but it comes from a recognised battery supplier.

Grippa tank do perfect setup they did mine,mine works with a heater and I now never have to worry about any charging issues. Not cheapest  but the nearest to perfection for our needs,those cheap relay chargers are useless

yeah me too. After years of faffing about to save a few quid I  paid £105  for their own brand 115ah  and a ring smart charger (£65). Has two year warranty - peace of mind knowing I can walk in to the shop and exchange , not so simple when you order online   ???

As far as the battery's concerned I've come to the conclusion that it's pot luck. I've always bought mine from purefreedom,and I've had one last 8 months and another over 5 yrs!

Halfords seem to have been the best over the years. We've got split relays now, but prior the best were 100% Halfords.

For me the joy of Halfords is that I suspect their stock turns over pretty quickly so you don't get a battery that's been on a shelf for six months.

The cheap split relay chargers are fine for an older van , mine never missed a beat for the four years i had the van , my replacement van has a similar one .

Ctek chargers are brilliant and i agree halfords for the batteries.

It depends on what you need it for if you have a heater there setup is needed,mine has mains option although I never need it I only ever top it up if I’ve got time not because it needs it.

Both my old van and my new one have a diesel heater.

Another vote for Ctek and Halfords.

But ... if you have a GoOutdoors card their "Platinum" brand leisure batteries are good and only £60.00 - but only 75 amp hour. I think they do 100/120 amp too. Not sure of the prices.
It's a game of three halves!
