Stand alone battery charger recommendations

PT, manual chargers no longer exist at Harbor Freight except for full size wheeled chargers that top out at 40-amps SIX AMPS LESS than my Megawatt. I got grumbled at for being cranky so I followed their advice and add a Happy Face smiley to soften my abrasive replies somewhat. (Most) RV'ers ridicule the suggestion of buying a wheeled charger for RV use so I assssssumed the OP was not looking for a an apartment-size refrigerator, charger.

Hint. One NEW Wal-Mart group 29 battery discharged to 12.0 volts. One WhiffCo converter stuck on 13.6 volts. Plugged battery into converter Monday morning 0900. Took battery off converter THURSDAY 0530 and measured specific gravity. NONE of the six cells had reverted to 1.280 corrected specific gravity. Try 1.270 to 1.272. Sold battery to customer who uses it on a rancho. Two years later now he still waxes eloquent how good that battery works.

Max output of the Whiffco tested out to be 56.2 amps. Voltage 13.62 fixed. The unit apparently likes a six and a 2 in the setpoints.

I'm definitely not against a wheeled unit, or I would have specified. 99% of the time, it will reside in the garage. The remaining 1% it can hit a ride somewhere when we go off-grid the few times a year if needed.

I'm going to be looking for the Schumacher SC-10030a or the Black & Decker for 40amp output.

I appreciate everyone's quick responses to this post and the recommendations. I will report back after next weekend on how it all worked out. It's not the end of the world if the Crown dies, just a reason to expedite the installation of the dual 6v's :)
