I don't trust ANY "automatic" charger until I've had an oppotunity to
test it in the real world - by monitoring battery voltage and
temperature during a charge cycle.
I've seen $200US of SLA batteries (for a wheelchair) that were cooked
by the supplied "automatic" charger. Needless to say, I monitored the
charge voltage and temperature closely after installing the
replacement units.
