OKay, I am confused then about the FCS that this charger has. It sounds like a fancy way of saying Trickle. I am very very dumb when it comes to voltage. Thanks for your time......

It's supposed to restart if voltage drops, or a certain time passes (not so sure about second part, have not read manual in a while). I can tell you from experience, it does not float charge. The charger uses a relay to control power to the transformer, only chargers whose transformers are always powered can float charge batteries. For traditional transformer-based chargers, it's simple as that.

now that I am a couple of weeks from getting my new batteries, the storage question comes up.

I have the little Save-A-Batt battery tender/charger. Is this good enough to store the cart for 5-6 months?

Would it be better to get a DPI Accusense Intelligent Charger? This is a 5 stage charger. It says the 5th stage is for storage. It says that after 28 days it will start a new charge cycle. Doesn't say anything about voltage drop, not sure if it matters at that point.
