thanks for any help.

Gel batteries need to be charged at a lower voltage then lead acid batteries. Any charger designed for Gels should be okay. I would buy a multi stage charger that has a float mode. This way is can be left on without damage to your battery from over charging.

I don't believe there is any difference except $$. Detran makes chargers for BMW. See http://www.batterytender.com/
