Steve,

Would it not be better to install the variac between the batteries and the cell's with the proper meters for measuring the voltage and amperage. This would leave the charger with constant voltage without the possability of damaging it if you ran the voltage real low on it. If you lower the voltage to the charger it will raise the amerage on the charger because the charger is still trying to bring the batteries up to full charge with the same power load. But if you install them between the cell's and the batteries you have the reseve power source of the batteries with less posability of damge to the charger.
