Thanks Bob.
I bought one of these. It was about the same price as a battery.

yep . . . better yet, it won't go sour sitting
on the shelf!
Batteries are like house plants. You gotta 'tend' them
whether in-service or not. I just pitched a lab
battery last week that I'd allowed to self-discharge
and degrade to salvage value.
I'm upgrading my battery storage area to facilitate
maintenance on all the batteries in the shop . . .
a feature I did not implement immediately after my
move from Wichita to the Kansas hinterlands.
With the addition of suitable connectors and controls,
power supplies of this nature can be configured
to serve as ground power carts with no wheels . . .
since they're not beefy enough to crank an engine.
But they pretty much run everything else.
The only caution is to not use these things to
charge a badly discharged ship's battery. It's
okay to have this power supply on line with
a battery as long as the battery is pretty
strong. This would be useful for running hi-
inrush, intermittent loads like landing gear pump
motors.
But for the most part, these supplies are happiest
doing the whole job all by themselves.
