This is what I ended up buying:
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/mean-well-usa-inc/EDR-120-12/1866-1440-ND/7702913
10 amps, din mount, can adjust up to 14 volts.
Propane furnace draws 3.7 amps. LED lamps add another amp. So there should
be at least 5 amps available for charging. That is plenty.
I will probably start looking for a low voltage disconnect now.

For some of my low power sites I actually use their OpenUPS
http://www.mini-box.com/OpenUPS?sc=8&category=1264
Hooked to a Pi Board which I modified the linux driver to get the stats
off the OpenUPS ( their drivers where failing with my version of linux
)... Then power it off the USB port from a mikrotik switch. I can
pull current rates, charge state, all the details of maintaining
batteries .

Yep, that is what I am looking for, but it sure isn’t cheap is it.

I think the ones you're thinking about have "BCM" in the model
number (for Battery Charge Monitor or something like that).
Most of the ones I know about are made by Altech or Phoenix Contact,
or a few others.
Finding one that works for 12VDC is a bit of an odd duck; we are
almost always looking for 24VDC or 48VDC. I did a little poking
around and found this one from Altech that does 12VDC. Key thing to
look for is "DC UPS".

I know it has been mentioned many times before, but I cannot
remember if it is a Meanwell product or not.
In my splicing trailer, I have a nice 12 volt DC fuse panel in
addition to the 120/240 panel.
The 12 volts runs LED overhead interior lights, porch light,
furnace (I bought the one Bill recommended) and the trailer
break-away brake circuit.
I want a DIN rail mount charger rectifier.
I believe there is one that has charging terminals that limit
battery charging current as well as load terminals that are not
limited.
Seems like there was a BC in the part number. Too lazy to try to
figure out the archive.
And I don’t recall any specific keyword stuff to make the search
easy.
