I think the 25 amp charger will knock the sulfation off the plates as well, also it may be useful with a battery to have a high amp charge if it needs to be fast charged before being put back in duty, much like the alternators do to our conventional car batteries.
Trickle chargers are for low duty maintenance , a high amp charger is more of a necessity with high drain battery systems.

I have read that you can change the voltage regulator instead of the alternator.
