Default Nautilus gell battery charging

I just bought a Nautilus Gell type(looks like a six pack) deep cycle battery from Canadian Tire. Seems to be a lot of thaughts on the proper way to charge it.

Anyone have any experience with the best method/type of charger.
Thanks in advance.BM

If you have a auto charger (voltage regulator one) just put on auto and let it go. Did that for a couple of em now, both of them have not gone dead yet.

Default charging

Get a good trickle charger like C-Teck or Battery Tender. Once they are fully charged they will do "maitanence" on the battery by drawing them down a bit and re charging to full. Gell cells aren't as bad for it as liquid filled but they will still sulfate unless you maintain them.
