If what I read on another thread is fact, the B&D charger advances to 14.8 volts then stays there, for someone afraid of their ability to charge batteries, I recommend this charger. And a way to float batteries at 13.4 volts when not in use.
Every two weeks have the B&D charge the batteries for two hours at 14.8 volts upper limit voltage cutoff. You can hook up a timer can't you? If the timer forces you to a weekly schedule charge for 1 hour at this voltage. You must check watering once a month - no way around that.
Batteries need to be charged ASAP after being discharged. Just as soon as you get home.
I based the B&D interval charging on you having a 13.4 volts float charge.
