A 0.8 amp output is too low, 3 amps is sufficient and a 5 amp C-tek, as recommended by Suzublu, would be a wise choice because it's nicely over-engineered so will last for ever.

A few tips for you Dawn:
  • Buying the cheapest of anything is usually a false economy.
  • A flat battery will draw only about 3 amps so it's pointless paying for a 10 amp charger.
  • You may think that you need it only during the Coronavirus emergency but believe me, you will use it again.
