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...

Good point BFL.
I do plan on using oversized cabling for whatever amperage unit I do decide upon. Perhaps a small voltmeter hardwired to the converter output could be a nice monitoring tool. I recently put some on my dashboard for engine and house battery, and it has been very enlightening to watch them rise and fall as I drive, but I need to feed the sense wires directly to battery terminals instead of tapping nearby circuits.
