Okay, my idiocy aside, I hooked up the new charger last night.  Everything seems to have gone smoothly.  I do need a multi-meter to actually see where the battery is before and after charge.  However, the charger only went through the bulk phase for about 1.5 hours.  This tells me the battery wasn't too low.  The CTEK is definitely a good option over paying $180 for the Odyssey brand charger.

Yea it doesn't take long because the battery was probably around 80-90% and the ctek is a very efficient charger, it holds the amperage higher, for longer resulting in a faster charge than other chargers I tested.  I still usually let it trickle charge overnight.  resting voltage for 100% on the odyssey is 12.85v

Yep, I left it on overnight.  I actually like this charger better than the Battery Tender I use for the motorcycle.  I'll probably use the CTEK on the bike battery now.  I'm also going to hook up the wife's car, as I put a different brand AGM in there a couple of months ago.
