That's the unit I had as well (actually I bought two of them while they were
on sale).

Good for you. The battery I was trying to charge had problems of some sort,
and would get hot with a conventional charger. I was curious to see what
would happen if it were trickle charged for several months. Bad idea
obviously, but somehow I missed the warning saying that the battery
"charger" (HF's word) could not be used for charging batteries.
Anyway, my point was just that their regulator does not include a current
limit. I agree it would be tough to accidentally start a fire with one of
these.
Oh, and on behalf of my folks, thanks for the drinks. Debt paid in full <G>
