For your Toyota RAV4 and charging 12V car batteries I recommend the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 10 Amp item # 329-GENIUS10. The NOCO Genius charges and maintains lead acid and lithium-ion batteries. It has a start voltage sensor that detects dead batteries as low as 1 volt. The multi-stage charging algorithm charges 2x faster than traditional chargers without overcharging. It analyzes the battery's condition to provide a customized charge.
