Generally, a float charger is designed to keep a charged battery at full charge. They are not designed to fast charge a battery that is 'down'. They are also referred to as battery 'maintainers' with circuitry to avoid overcharging.

It costs $9.99 ; and is made where? You get one guess.

It will do a good job of maintaining a charged battery. (At least, unless it ****s the bed and boils the battery dry and starts your truck on fire, etc.)
