I am looking for an onboard 2 bank charger.
People have told me to not charge the batteries too fast.

I am looking for an overnight charging unit that maintains the batteies
at full charge.

Is there a max Amp rating I should target for?
My little 1 amp charger takes 3 days to charge one Interstate SRM 27 and
that is way too long.

A battery should be able to take a charge at close to the same rate it
was discharged at. That being said a starting amperage of 10 to 15
amps with a tapering charge system should not hurt the battery. The
charger should also be able to sense the battery condition and
taper/end the charge when the battery is charged.

I am partial to having a small timer in line so if the charger does
not end the charging cycle, the timer does. A simple plug in wall
timer for a few bucks is good insurance.

A good resource for learning about batteries and charging is
