Any charger will work up to a point. Don't try using a battery tender, but an actual charger. The biggest concern is how long it takes. I made a tank big enough to do bedsides (one at a time) and used, what I would call a heavy duty farm charger...(Schumacher 200/40/6A Farm & Ranch Battery Charger) and it took a couple weeks to get the job done set on the highest 12 volt charge setting (not the engine start setting - that would not be good I don't think). It took that long due to the size of the parts and the amount of water involved. I have used it for smaller containers and it cuts the time down considerably.

For 5 gallon bucket jobs...a more affordable charger would work just fine.
