Brand? Forget brands. Look at features instead.

What you want is dummy-proof, guess-proof battery charging and maintenance. For that your choices are limited. You want a computerized type of charger that will slow charge, fast charge, discharge and have a clear display to tell you the voltage and amperage. Such a charger is expensive, but if it keeps a pair of $80 to $100 batteries working for over 3 years it pays for itself.
They cost between $150 to $200. No need for the funky Marui one that is more expensive. Avoid the cheap crappy $20 chargers.

After that, just read the instruction manual and go play with no worries. Have fun.
