I imagine the manual charger is better if you want to babysit the charger and battery. I am basically lazy so I prefer the automatic. If it shortens the battery life a bit - so be it. I do have the VEC 1093DBD.
I have three of them and see your point of view.
The manual that I linked to is better at giving one a good readout on battery.
This manual charger requires no baby setting as I pointed out above. Just run it at 6 amp rate and check it in a few hours or the next day. If you are charging a 400 ah bank you should be good to go 245.3 days without checking it. Just set it on 2 amps on a 75 ah battery and you should be good to come back in 453.7 days. :)
Today there are not many who have put thousands of hours of charging with a manual charge. We rack up 6000 hours a year with the OEM manual charger in just the MH. :)
