I've never contacted Lester for confirmation on this, but I've heard that 
the Lestronic chargers (and possibly others) come in two "flavors."  One 
uses an 8 amp finish, the other a 5 amp.  The former are indeed a bit 
rough 
on golf car batteries; the latter are much gentler.  

I think Lee Hart told me once that he knew a way to reduce the finish 
current on the 8 amp boilers.
