I use one, works great. They won't "overcharge" the battery.

I have two of them...I've been using one for just over 10 years and a newer one since last summer, both on OPTIMA batteries.

I picked up a couple of Black & Decker units from wallyworld super cheap and am going to give those a shot. A number of people have used them with great success.
