Modified my Schumacher
Model number sc2500a. No longer in production. This Charger works pretty nicely as a converter, on the 12 amp setting, handling such cycling loads as a ~2.7 amp compressor fridge and a 6.2 amp mat...

I'm not sure yet. US Battery gives fairly specific charging recommendations and bulk currents at 10% of the 20 hr capacity rate, which puts me at 13 amps, and max loading of my DC circuits is likely only 11.5 amps max while charging.

I'd also like it to be able to charge my Northstar engine starting AGM battery (separately, via a moveable connector or switch), which likely wants a 0.4C rate when cycled, and that is a 90 A/h battery, so 36 amps for that. This battery is unlikely to be DC loaded during recharge, if I decide I am going to cycle it.
Still trying to determine which of the 3 brands I am considering most closely meets the voltage and amperage needs of both these batteries, separately. Also, I am limited to a 3.8" height, but length and width are more accommodating.
