I decided to reach out to WFCO to get there take. For what it's worth, here is there reply:
The charge algorithm is automated, but it is a 3 stage charger.
Secondarily, the converter does not pump amperage into the battery, but rather the battery draws from the converter. So, the charge rate is constantly variable, based on what the battery or 12v loads require. There is no issue using this converter with golf cart batteries.
I see there is a PowerMax direct replacement for the WFCO 8955, running about $140 on Amazon. I guess that might be worth it based on feedback from the forum.
did you expect anything different ;)
for what its worth I have had many a WFCO cook batteries over the years, my last 4 units never left the lot with out that being torn out and replaces with quality. WFCO will brag there the most used converter in the market but thats because there the cheepest option that will get the job done for the manufactures, not because there the best.
