The Samlex America (SEC1230UL) 30 Amp Battery Charger charges my two 225AH Trogan T105 golf cart batteries in about 4 hours at the three different stages perfectly. Worth every penny to know my T105's are being charged properly to ensure they'll be able to deliver their long service life. Don't skimp on a true 3 stage automatic battery charger.

Very heavy duty unit, bigger than I expected, pay attention to the dimensions. Being able to shut off the 2nd stage and use this as a power supply is a great feature.

If the need arises I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
