I have a question about this. I thought about doing this but gave up the idea when I realized that every time I p!ugged in shore power, I was going to have to open the cabinet and press a button to initiate the charge. On the Schumacher charger I had, it would not charge unless you made a selection of amperage. Is there a smart charger smart enough to do this automatically, or is there a dumb charger just smart enough to quit charging when it has done its job?
