SO, I HAVE THREE BATTERIES.....2 dedicated strictly dedicated for trolling (and run together), and one dedicated for everything else.
Now, I have a 2 bank charger on my boat, and it works great. It is 5 amp each bank. Now, I will buy a new charger if needed, but I don't want to have to drop $200 on anything like that right now. Im would like to dedicate one bank to the "accessories" battery. I would like to be be able to use the other bank for the trolling battery.....being able to charge both trolling batteries with the one bank, IF POSSIBLE. I would think that it could, being they are linked/connected.
Am I right about this, or am I needing to break down and buy a 3 bank charger?
I hope this all makes sense.....looking forward to hearing answers.
