I hope I don't have to learn this charger's quirks by trial and
error because some of those operations can take a day or two.

You shouldn't, however, you do need to have an understanding of what
you are looking at and how it works to get the best (information and
results) from it.

If it's anything like my BC-700 then the only thing (IMHO) that isn't
completely intuitive is setting of the charging within 10s of power
on.

Loads of overviews of them in use on Youtube showing you the range of
things they can do and how typically you could use them (if you were
interested etc).
