My go to maintainer is by Battery Minder (NOT Battery Tender).
I have 5x running 24/7 - two 24v units on a 48v 220A-H boom lift, 1x on
shack backup 12v 220A-H, 1x 12v on a dump trailer 120A-H and 1x on a
fork lift starter battery 90A-H. The higher capacity batteries use the
2 amp or larger maintainers and the smaller batteries the wall wart model.
No RFI noticed on any band.
These are great pulsed maintainer units. They de-sulfate amazingly well
and don't electrolyze the water away very rapidly. Been using them for
18 years after bad experiences with junk constant current/voltage
maintainers.
Again, NOT Battery Tender, these have not been reliable for me. Great
ratings on Amazon btw.

He will be mostly using it for charging his RAM truck, which has 2 truck batteries in parallel all winter (big diesel). Also would be good to use it for charging other dead batteries around the house...
