I'm not an expert on this but it's my understanding that entry level car
and motorcycle chargers do not have the overcharge limit circuits.
These need to be avoided.  The charger I linked to is a nice low cost
1amp charger perfect for the batteries used in the hobby.

I mentioned the EV Warrior charger because it is designed to charge at
24volts (two batteries at once).  I find this an advantage not only in
time savings but when I'm installing the batteries in the tank I know
that one will not have a higher charge than the other (they are
equalized).  I keep three pairs of batteries for the Cromwell.  The
pairs are color coded and I charge and discharge them as pairs.
