On board battery charger. What to purchase?
 

Was going to order a charger for the boat today. Any recommendations? 32 offshore boat. Not running a whole lot. Fridge, lights, stereo, etc while over nighting. 10 amp 2 bank. I also noticed the different chargers for flooded, agm, gel.

Just wanna get the right one and not over pay and or get more than what I need.

I recently installed a Promariner ProSport20

Will looking into those. I would assume most of them would have auto shut offs to prevent over charging/heating up.

Also any reason why or if I need a two bank? Assuming fridge, stereo, lights, are going two be running off battery number 2.

I'm going to remove a Xantrex Truecharge 20+ from my boat in the next couple weeks. Bought it used and never wired it up.

$100

Let me know

I bought and am happy with the Minn Kota 3 bank 15amp (3x5amp) that I bought for my twin engine batteries and house battery. Works great, I installed a plug so i can simply plug an ext cord when parked on trailer and its ready to go when I need to. I also have an ACR so my P engine charges the house and it will not let it draw the engine battery down when the house battery drops below 12 or so.

(bought it from academy sports)

I purchased this unit last year. It is a 20 amp dual battery charger that will split the 20amps to where it is needed. It is not just a 10/10amp charger. It can supply 20amps to one battery if only one battery needs charging. It also has a maintenance mode where once every month it will discharge the batteries and recharge to keep the batteries in top shape. Download the instructions. It is a nice charger at a good price.

Promariner protech 1240i plus is what I got when I redid my bilge to replace the dinosaur 40lb original promariner charger that cane with boat. A guy on ebay sells all the models for good price.

Has anyone had good or bad luck with the Guest Charge Pro battery chargers?
