Simple 110V-12V car battery charger?
I'm exhausted and depressed after reading reviews on Amazon. "Multistage" chargers that have only 2 stages (sometimes 1). Bulk stage running at 16-17V 'cause some idiot imbedded a "desulfation" mode...

Senor Mex... Mas despacio, por favor. Me stupid can't follow. Where did you look for transformer 15 amp etc etc? And again, what "Mega-Cheapo-watt" for $22 did you mean?
Useful discussion, deviations help other people.
I see that $150 Xantrex 10A has "almost" everything I need. No adjustable voltage, but wet-gel-agm selector will keep it close to where it has to be.
$40 Meanwell has "almost" everything I need. No shutoff, but voltage is infinitely adjustable, so I can indeed turn the kitchen timer on and switch Minny to 13V after a few hours. Not my idea of "simple", but I like the adjustable voltage. Can even set it to 13 from the beginning - and walk away, it will slowly chug along, just like my primitive RV converter.
