I'd make sure your batteries are not toast first, before blaming the Boondocker. Go get them recharged fully, and then take them in for load testing and specific gravity readings fully charged. You may have issues other than the Boondocker.
One thing for certain, a MegaWatt or a Meanwell power supply unit, with an external 500 ohm pot soldered on to control the voltage, will recharge, consistently, at any voltage you set it to. What it won't do is shut off if your batteries get old and short out. So you do need to stay on top of battery maintenance, off gassing, and preventing catastrophic battery failure yourself, when recharging with nothing more than a power supply unit. You are the safety, not the equipment. The liability is on you to know what you are doing using it in this application.
