Any of those type of chargers are great - we use one for our BX that doesn't get much use.

Optimate are a popular make usually sold through motorcycle dealers etc - they also do car ones that pack more punch. You can also use them to charge flat batteries on cars with sensitive immobilisers without destroying them (so I am told!) - I've known cars that've popped their security ECUs after having a dud battery removed in the wrong sequence.....
