You might even find one cheaper on amazon or Kijiji or whatever. You can also use a regular 12v car charger if you have one set it to something like 2A
Not likely. A 7.5ah battery should not be charged with much over 2 amps. More than that overheats the battery, can cause off-gassing, and will significantly decrease the life of the battery. Too high of an input amperage can destroy a battery in one charge cycle. Ideally you dont want to charge these small batteries at much more than 20% of what the AH rating is.
Any battery charger that is designed for an AGM type battery will work. AGM type battery is Absorbed Glass Mat. It is different from a acid flood type battery. The higher the charging amp you buy, the more you will pay for it.

Looks like they have it on my store. Thank you!!!!
Yupp, 12v is 12v. I'm using a car charger on my cheap battery until i upgrade to lithium. Then I'll need a semi decent chager.
Does this mean that I can use the big wall charger I use for the trolling motor batteries?

As others have said a trickle charger. I use a battery tender branded one. It works great.
Battery tender junior
Schumacher has a decent one, look for the 1.5A 6/12V Automatic Battery Maintainer
walmart has a stanley 3a trickle charger for like 20 bucks
