I've been having issues with my car's battery dying unexpectedly especially in cold weather. It started last winter when I left the lights on overnight, and since then, it's been unreliable. I tried jumping it a few times with cables from a neighbor, but that only works temporarily. Now, I'm looking for a reliable charger on Amazon to keep at home. My SUV is a 2015 model with a standard lead-acid battery. I need something that's easy to use and won't overcharge. Has anyone recommended a specific one? I checked the voltage requirements, but I'm not sure about amps. Budget is around $50. Tried a cheap one before, but it didn't last.

I actually need a reliable charger for my vintage truck's battery which keeps dying unexpectedly. Make sure it's SAFE for older models.

My SUV's battery died last winter and I had to get a jump start twice! I've been meaning to buy a charger to keep in the garage. Budget is tight under $50, and it needs to work with a 12V system. I tried a cheap one before, but it overheated. What features should I look for to avoid that again! Also, does it need to be weatherproof for outdoor use? Something portable would be ideal since I travel a lot. I read reviews but got confused by all the amp options.

Battery sat for a couple months and now the charger light just blinks—any quick fixes before I replace it?
