looking for something that can be charged from the shed rather than hard wired in the van

Ctek chargers are the way to go, not cheap, but top of the range.

I will second the halfords one , good bit of kit , i use this till the light goes green , then wack the battery on a standard charger for one hour , i find this to be the best way to maintain the life of the battery , i used to go through a battery every 6 months or so , since using the halfords one i have had my present battery for 2 years

make that 3 - i use the 1200cc one thats 25 quid - gives a nice gentle charge overnight - but it's only used to top up on busy days where the van has not moved much and i need to re-fill ( system works off pump controller )
