gel battery charging

[hmmmnz]

ok ive read the internets on gel battery charging,
but couldnt find the specific info i need,
basically i want or is it possible to charge a gel from a led acid,
or using the lead acid (wet cell) as a dampener to charge the gel from the alternator in my camper,
i have a bitchin pure sine wave inverter which when plugged into the mains acts as a battery charger, this has an option to charge type of battery,
but when im not near some mains supply i want to be able to do it on the fly, with me alternator via starter battery

possible? or do i need to waste a few hundred quid on a specialist stering charger

hmmm no one?
ok i was thinking about a solar charge controller,
they are designed to work with varying types of batteries, and you can get well over 18v on a hot day from solar panels, and normally they have an electronic version of a voltage sensitive relay built in to them, so it would save me buying one of those,

any neigh sayers on this idea??

I wiped out a perfectly good 17 plate maint-free (not AGM) battery in my BMW by having a solar strip connected via the cigar lighter socket when I was at work for a month at a time. (I don't smoke cigars though)
I think the constant dribble was too much for the battery and if boiled the electrolyte off.

I never knew gel bat would need a specific charger, my BMW bikes have AGM batteries and they are maintained using a ctek battery maintainerer.

I used to connect a one of them 12VDC-250AC invertor things off a Heavy duty battery and charger to run my computer when I worked in W. Africa. It was needed to filter lightening strikes and was easier to clash that together than buy a UPS.
