Richard,
Are you talking about these?

I have been using two of them to charge a 48V bank of 6V golf car batteries on my Albin 25. They are a little small for that application, but I wanted something that my 900W Honda generator could handle. I have tried motoring while running the Honda and they didn't seem to mind, though I only ran for a half hour or so. I'll do more extensive testing of that mode next summer.
We also installed a set on a Santana 30-30 conversion back in 2004/2005 and have had no problems. That one sails regularly and is plugged in at the dock the rest of the time. The T-105 batteries only need water about once a year an it's still on the original set.
I have a pair of the 5A per channel version in my Duffy launch as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them based on the above experience. They seem to be pretty bullet proof.

The batteries were flooded lead (not sealed) and I rarely had to add any water. I don't know if that means anything other than the charger was not boiling the batteries :-).
