Dealership Battery chargers?

My wife's True Start is about 18 months old. Not used much, so my old battery charger is 10/2 amps output. It's enough to start her truck (2001 Taco PreRunner) but will not last. Took it into the dealership and they have to charge it first for warranty. they said 'nothing wrong with it'. Even she was shock up about that. She will probably buy a new battery in January. What ever charge they thru on it is holding better than my old charger. My charger is probably 10 years old, what are modern dealership chargers?
yes, checked grounds, 15v charging, I thought alternator output was good.

Most likely a fleet charger of some variant.
Amazon.com: Associated Equipment 6006 6/12/24V 70/65/30 Amp Charge 280 Amp Cranking Assist Charger with Wheels: Automotive

Look up a 12V 2A Desulfating Battery Charger Maintainer | Worldwide Use.
They can be had for better prices.
I get between 9-11 years of of my lead batteries.
This Deka/East Penn made battery just needed to be replaced.
(It is wet because I washed the top before charging and seeing it has a dead cell)

Yeah... They have models with higher amperage with "engine start" mode.
DO NOT try extended charging in this mode.
https://www.sears.com/diehard-gold-8...p-02871326000P
Amazon.com: DieHard 71328 6/12V Platinum Shelf Smart Battery Charger and 15/125A Engine Starter: Automotive
Amazon.com: CAR BATTERY CHARGER 75 AMP 12 V ENGINE STARTER BOOSTER with Slow Charger: Automotive

Wheeled/larger model.
https://www.sears.com/diehard-platin...p-02871345000P


But I pull my batteries 2-3 times a year as routine maintenance and use the BM 2012 on 'em all.
Especially in those that sit Winter out mostly.
Other times, they are just charged outside in the vehicles overnight or whatnot.
I have 9 Yotas in the fleet, so they are not all used as daily drivers.
Getting rid of three and picking up one 4R to replace those.
Oddly, I am keeping two of the highest mileage because they have no issues at 300k+ & 500k+ on the ticker. (knocks on wood)

Any model in particular?

But but but, I won't be getting a check.




Don't buy Chinese with that check!

I'm not even sure how long Lead Acid's will be around.
While not completely phased out immediately, I can see automakers going towards lighter tech to meet their CAFE/EPA mileage specs.
