Default Canadian Tire Battery Tender Recommendation

Hi All. I am thinking of getting this Battery Tender from Canadian Tire.

http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ba..._wcB#store=152

It's 50 bucks.

They also have one for $94 bucks.

Any recommendations on the $50 one?

I bought a similar one from Crappy Tire about 4 yrs ago, still works fine, it was on sale at the time for about $35 or so I recall... wasn't the battery tender brand name though... no need for the higher priced unit IMO...

I have three of these (garden tractor, etc) and have no complaints. Would recommend, however, this one is a "maintainer" and will take a long time to charge a battery.

I bought a really small battery tender from Canadian Tire about 5 years ago on sale for $20 and have used it every winter and it still works great! It is a Motomaster Eliminator one, I am not sure if they make it anymore though, this is what it looks like:
