I have the blue tops and I use http://www.geniuschargers.com/GEN4
Has been great so far. Been using it for a year or so now. No complaints, Charges quick. you dont want to go over 10 amps on the optimas. See here http://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/su ... /charging/

Good luck!

I have used a Minnkota 4 bank charger for 7.5 years and with Optima Blue Tops for the last 4 + years when no problems at all. Regardless of charger brand. as Jared stated its highly recommended to use a 10 amp per bank charger for the Blue Tops. Using a higher amp charger could void the warranty and also shorten the life of your Optima batteries.

Good luck,
Randy

I have opti blue top battery and use the NOCO 3/10 as stated to better use the 10 amp instead of the 15. Noco 3/10 is $269 and 4/10 is $359.
