I’m still trolling when most others are at the ramp.
    Im going to have to look into these!

    When I’m charging a 24v set up, do I need to disconnect the cables between the batteries?

    Love my onboard charger. A word of caution, always unplug trolling motor connection before charging batteries.

    I don’t even the motor on the boat right now, I just have the 2 batteries hooked up with the wires ran, but I was curious if I needed to disconnect them from each other before charging?

    If using onboard charger that is 2 bank hook one set of leads to each battery. No you do not have to disconnect anything. My advice for what ever it’s worth take some of the money you thought about spending on trolling motor and spend on a good 3 bank charger. That way all your batteries stay charged all the time.

    Thank you! I don’t have an onboard charger, just a regular 12v charger
