Land,
So what you would like is basically a full charging solution with user definable or adjustable set points w/timer? The charger would need to be capable of sustaining a 40 amp draw?
Well my ideal charger would have a dial for maximum amperage allowed, up to 40 amps, but perhaps higher too
It would have a dial for setting absorption voltage at 77f and a battery temp sensor and automatically compensate for temps not 77f.
it would have a float trigger. When amps required to hold ABSV fall below X, revert to finish. which could be anywhere upto 15.5v
A timer to hold finish charge,
Then revert to a user selectable float voltage for 77f ideal, temo compensated.

but I'll be happy enough with a overload protected constant current 40 amp supply with a 10 turn voltage pot, attached to my GTpower which has 6awg leads replacing the provided 12agw leads.
Seeing what the power supply is providing is important to me, counting amp hours returned is desirable.
