You will find that the "baby sitting" is minimal. I set mine with the Variac to 200 ma and let it float. By the time the battery is full its down to 170 ma or so. Sometimes I try to keep it up near 200 for the first 5 hours by adjusting it about once an hour, but only if I have a severely depleted battery. Normally I just set it to 200 and let it sag to 170.
