What Smart charger do I need?
I'm trying to charge 2 Sams Club gc2 golf batterys. I currently have a Shumacher SC8020a battery charger. I charge em a couple hours a day with not much success. They charge good from Alternator...

OK PD is manually selectable... and it should be extremely rare to ever need to actually use the button. Especially if mounted close to the battery with #4 wire.
We have both seen the charts comparing IOTA and PD and for all practical charging it is dead even at the 3 to 4 hour mark. IOTA starts in boost every time so again no real need for a button.
My comment was focused on the fact that the OP plans to hardwire and "fired up the Honda without me even having to touch the battery charger." and for not wanting to fiddle with the charger I cannot recommend a fixed 14.8 volt converter. Seems an automatic system would be a better application.
JMHO
So what he really needs is a stock WFCO that actually works right! :)
The 14.8 would only be on while the Honda is running though, so no fear of Floating at 14.8. If he got shore power he could just dial it down to 13.6 --got to do some work as an Rver! :)
