I am not familiar with the battery charger pictured.

I use these ~ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BQSIWK/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#Ask

btw - $400 for that blue top seems a little stiff . . . . . .

Optimum Marine blue top 34M should be under $230 and availble everywhere. 

AGM's can be over charged damaging the case and plates, 10 amp automatic shut off chargers are a choice, IMO.

25% is $288 vs $230 USD....

Why use a portable bench charger instead of a onboard?
