Theoretically, you can use a standard 12V automotive battery charger with this, although I'm not sure what current rating it would require. I'd recommend at least a 20A charger, it really will depend on your base load and your drive train.

A 20A charger has the potential to do significant damage to both the battery and the power distribution board.
