Onboard battery chargers?

[Andrew]

I need to get a new onboard battery charger.... What are some good brands? I've had lower cost ones but I want a good brand this time... I want 2 to 3 banks with 10 or more amps per bank. Meaning if I'm charging three batteries at once I want 10 amps going to each battery.... Mandatory 2 banks but 3 will work also...

This is the only one I've looked at but not sure if it's a good brand and charger http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true

I'm willing to spend up to $300 on one and would like to get it as soon as possible... Basically what are some good brands that last a good time? I run 2 trolly motor batteries and 1 cranking battery.. Thanks


However I do not want anything branded BPS

I would suggest the dual pro series. http://www.dualpro.com/media/pdf/PS3b insert.pdf

Stealth One makes on of the best if not the best charger around ac and dc versions , and they are made right here in Hixson,TN right at the entrance to Chester Frost Park ! I buy local when ever I can!

I have had several brands and I think Guest Chargers are the best. But they are expensive.

+1 for stealth I put one on my boat I have now and will put one on every other boat I have. That extra juice sure is nice on those windy days or long nights.

+1 ON DUAL PRO........my is 2-10 amp ...I think they make them with higher amp and 3 outlets...maybe 4 on some. Mine is 15 years old and never give a problem. I`d go with a higher amp now because they are SMART and will give the batt what it needs

I have had good luck with ProMariner, Dual Pro, and now Minn Kota. The MKs are a little bulkier than I would like though.

My boat has a Guest and it works great and has a good warranty. I don't know the price it was included in the boat sale.
