Look for a "smart" or "automatic" charger. Unlike the old single stage chargers, you can't overcharge your batteries. They can handle 6v or 12v, as well as different battery types like sla, glass mat, whatever.

Here's an example off amazon.

I picked one up from autozone (I think) on sale for about $20. Still running strong 5 years on.

Bonus unsolicited advice because hey, this is the internet. The best 12v deep cycle batteries I've found have been the Interstates from Costco. Wish I'd never heard of Optima.

So I was able to jumpstart and get the vehicle home. After I parked, I turned it off, waited 30 seconds, and I was able to start the car without a jumpstart. I then charged the battery with a charger overnight. When I tried to start it again without a jumpstart AND with a jumpstart, we have the same initial issue. Would you suspect a bad starter or alternator?
