This is a 3-stage PLUS converter the Charge Wizard software is optimized for Flooded wet cell and Most common maintenance free. It had BULK, Absortion and float and if it sits in float for an extended period (I **THINK** 20 hours) it kicks into an auto equalization/desulfate mode (over charge) for like 15 minutes. My original house batteries lasted 9 years using a wizard controlled converter.
In 15 years I've not found a better converter. OH I'm on my 2nd. 1st one died of old age Went to factory and got a refurb. (Yes I actually went to the factory. It's in Michigan).
Now: when your batteies die (in say 5-10 years) I'd recommend upgrading to a pair of GC-2 in series.. you get over twice the usable amp hours.. Same converter will baby them.
