I believe I said chemistry as in 'lead acid' so I'm not sure what we're disagreeing on, I also agree with what you said.
Rightly or wrongly this is how I charged my batts for over a decade, those are HD microcat batts, I had 3 sets of them in use at any time, never had a problem.
(No, I'm not talking balancing..lol)

Prices are all over the place for these chargers, you can get them from Ali express for less than a tenner.
But note there are a few different models, some can do 60 watts some 80 watts their is a version 2
And sadly there are a lot of copies (fire hazards) so I’d buy with caution.

A while ago a local secondhand tackle dealer advertised an Imax B6 evo charger with 230v lead for £20. Had a quick google to see if it would do 24v, it doesn't but they were selling for about £35 plus maybe a tenner for a 230v lead. I noticed a well known bait boat company were advertising them with 230v lead for £75. Carp tax I suppose.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one it’s important to select the correct charger based on battery chemistry.

Just get one of these then you can charge just about any battery you'll likely ever use.

If they're the standard 12 lead acid type you don't need a special charger. I used to use my motorbike charger to do mine. As long as it charges 12v and however many amps you need you'll find loads of choice out there and a lot are fully automatic now, ie detect type of battery attached.
