Bet that was a nice surprise$$!
I got a piece of very good advice from the place I bought my last charger,
don't mount it in the engine room over the battery boxes. Heat and caustic
fumes are not good for electronics.
Exactly where the old one was mounted!

Hopefully his built in charger can be set up to charge Gel batteries. They are kind of finicky.
