Last year I bought a Vector battery charger, the blue "marine" model that
has 2/10/20/35 amp charge rates, and I've used it a couple of times to
charge my tractor battery, car battery and boat batteries. It works well
as a charger at the 2/10/20 rates. Never tried the 35 amp rate.

But the charger also "reconditions" batteries, or so the advertising and
manual say, using a 24-hour cycle to desulfate battery plates. I've never
used this feature, but I loaned the charger to a buddy and he reports that
it actually revived two batteries he was about to toss. I don't have any
other details.

My one gripe about the charger is that its LED readouts are virtually
impossible to read outdoors, even in indirect light.

I have a Vector battery charger taht sounds very similar to yours minus the
marine component. Everything you said matches my experience including the
hard to see LED in sunlight. It's proven to be a great tool for my RV and
boat needs.
