How about a charger that has a supply mode? Meant for using when changing your battery but don't want to lose any of your car's settings. Would this work?
My CTEK 7002 has a supply mode: |
The cheaper ones we use are 55 amps, the bigger ones will do 90 amps continuous.

When programming, it is normal to see the power supply putting out 25-30 amps.
