bob, I'm not sure where in the 3075, the charger is located, but it is part of the AC/DC converter. It is regulated and isn't supposed to overcharge. I'm sorry I have no better info for you, but someone will be along that can give you the correct answer.

Bob, the converter in the 3075RL is located next to the Furnace. You access it from the removable panel in the basement. I don't know if it can "over-charge" but others may have a better answer, however, anytime using a converter to charge while in storage I know you have to check the water level in the battery frequently to make sure you haven't boiled it out.

Check the Iota site below, it will answer many of your questions.
Your converter is a 55 amp. (Medium size) 15 amps to 90 amps; with a rapid charge capability?
It comes with a male plastic phone type jack taped to the unit that, when inserted, will provide a temporary rapid charge for your 12 volt storage system. (single, or multiple 12 volt batteries, or an even number of Golf Cart batteries . Normal 13.6, to 14.2 fast charge.
This is a temporary mode of operation, as it would boil, or overcharge if left in. Useful for a quick charge need.
It’s maximum amp draw is 15 amps. (A/C)
If you blow fuses, look for reverse polarity, these fuses are designed for that.
Your converter has built in protection from:
Voltage spikes
Low line voltage (power from the main, coming in to the RV) Sometimes referred to as ‘Brown out’
Your converter can be used with, OR without a battery connected with no adverse effects.
All and all a pretty sophisticated piece of equipment.
