Battery charger?

["G"]

I've been running the Minn Kota 330 for many years without any problems.

I have been useing the MinnKota 330D which is Digital for 7 years now and out of the several brands that I have had it is the best. Three banks...ten amps per bank. Expensive....but you get what you pay for.

I have a Dual Pro RS3 it has 3 x 6amp banks seems to be holding up pretty good .I plug in as soon as I get home.

Dual Pro are made in TN (except for the sportsman line) and are repairable. They often have reman units with warranty too.

ProMariner or BPS XPS which is made by ProMariner.

I too have MinnKota brand and love it. Plug it in and forget about it.
I bought it when I had two batteries, this year I added a 24v trolling motor which means I had to add another battery. Now both TM batteries are attached to the MK. 2 bank 5 amps each. Maybe next year I'll step up to 3 banks 10 amps each. For this year I'll put my Ship-to-Shore charger on the cranking battery and leave the MK attached to the TM batteries.

I have the BPS 2 bank 10 amp charger. Had one on my 2000 Tracker and it was still going strong when I sold it 16 years later, so I bought a new one. One note though. Most of these will charge wet cell or gell batteries, but both have to be t same type. In other words you can't mix battery types and charge off the one charger.

How long does it take to charge your batteries with the lower amp units? I should have started this thread by stating--- I don't know much about the on board chargers other than I need a 2 bank...Boat gets used about once a week but there are occasions it will get used 2-3 days straight.

I believe my series 29 TM battery is at full charge in about 4hrs or less. My series 24 starter battery takes probably an hour or less. My 90HP Merc puts back a whole lot of charge to the starter battery, or it certainly seems to, anyway. Bottom line is ... they're all charged up and ready to go by the next morning, for sure. I've never used/had a charger, of any kind, that didn't put out 10amps ... so I'm pretty used to having my battery fully charged in a matter of hours.

Good info! Thank you!

I regularly camp/fish 2-3 day weekends and charge overnight in camp. While I don't longline troll or use my batteries non-stop while on the water, I never had a problem being fully charged in the morning.
