Just read this, which says converter should handle charging of battery:

A converter will not "cook" your battery or over charge it, if it's a good battery. Now if your battery is weak or has a bad cell it may deceive the converter into thinking it is dead and continue to charge it giving the impression it's "cooking" but it is the battery that is bad not the converter. Most converters will drop to a trickle charge once 14.8 volts have been sensed, and maintain full voltage when the battery is not in use.
Mine is probably pretty old, any idea if it would have the "autosensing" features mentioned?
