hi
i used to have a charger i could move a button to select gel or lead . i dont have it anymore.

the one i have is lighter and smaller see pic but it does not seem specific to gel batteries. it has no button to switch or select the type of battery to be charged
yes i can charge with it but a battery seller told me that it a regular charger will not charge gel battery completely.

what to think

is mine good should i replace it by one on amazon for example if yes how to select a good one?

Amps is amps, volts is volts.

Get the datasheet for your GEL batt and see what CV/Absorb vs Float setpoints they recommend.

Higher amps than 0.4C of your Ah capacity is wasting money.

That is all you need to choose a charger that will properly charge your bank.

Personally I reco Sterling Power ProCharge Ultra and ProMariner Pronautic P series

Either will let you optimize setpoints for all types of bank chemistries, pretty future proof.
