I e-mailed him asking for a price for 30 and he gave me a discount.

Have you tried paralleling two chargers on one battery to achieve a faster charge rate? I am looking at using some larger capacity batteries and I am wondering if 10Amp would charge them completely overnight. I may end up using batteries in the 200AH range (at 10Amp full discharge could take 20 hours to charge)
Thank you
