   I have the 3 amp, 12V, unit.  This brand is reasonably "smart",   
   and basically pumps out (a nominal) 3 amps until it detects   
   the battery is almost charged, then [some smaller amount]   
   until 99%, then trickle charge to keep topped off.

   I like to KNOW what the charger and battery are doing, and this tells me:

   In particular it shows if a battery has degraded enough that it rises to   
   full charge voltage at a low charge level. That's common with AGMs and it   
   fools a smart charger.
