I have an Elcon charger in my car and it's great! when I bought it they called me up and wanted to know everything down to the brand of battery that I had so they could program it.
It's one of the few solid state chargers that I found that I could afford, because it's solid state it produces less heat, it's also less reliant on line voltage so it can handle 85v up to 265v AC input voltage and with the higher voltage it charges faster.
It's also weather tight with it's own heat sink, my old charger was not weather tight and burned up after driving in a heavy rain.
I would rather have a battery gauge that tells me a cell is out of balance then a charger for each battery in the pack.
