Battery Tender is this a good one?

Looking for a battery tender for Winter. Found this on Amazon. Is this a good one to buy?

Personally, I prefer the BatteryMINDer 12 V 1.3 A Plus | BatteryStuff.com which has a desulfation mode.

I highly recommend:
Batterytender.com - Home of All Your Charging Needs Waterproof 800

It's smaller and has a nice hardened case which is waterproof. I just let it sit on the garage floor and don't have to worry about spilling liquids or humidity from the concrete.

I've had a battery tender plus for almost 5 years. I switch it between my motorcycle and Elise every few days. It works great. I even ran it over one time and they replaced it for minimal cost.

Do you know if that works on AGM batteries?

I have used that one for the past year - it worked great, but stopped working last week, so I am looking for a new one myself....
