3 Bank chargers

[harvey lee]

I have not yet purchased a bank charger for my new boat from last year. What brand might serve me the besat and any that I might stay away from?

Or, who has the Tow & Charge and how well does that work?

Thanks

Dual Pro Charger (triple bank) all the way. One of the best chargers out there in my opinion and excellent customer service should you need it.

I have had nothing but Minkotas in my boats and they have been fine. Dual Pro seams to be a popular one and one that a lot of people around these parts are running.

I've been running dual pro for 6 years...no problems whatsoever. You can mount it with minimal space and the three-stage charging process is definitely a plus...

My boat came with a Dual Pro from the factory. Seems to do the job.

I have a 4 bank Dual Pro, has been good so far, has had some glitches last yr but could of been battery or connection problem. Works fine now.

Tom, How big of system do you have on your boat?

Can someone give me the skinny on Tow and Charge? Thanks

Sure.. what are you wondering about?

You run wires from your battery to a connector at the back of your vehicle, and wires from your trolling motor batteries to a connector at the front of the boat, connect the two and you're set.

There's more options than that, and some other ideas that'll work well too.

You're charging from the alternator on your truck to your boat batteries to charge them while you're traveling. Same thing a larger camper does in the trailer's harness.

They work pretty decent, a buddy of mine won one and we put it on his truck for charging fish house batteries and it worked for what he needed it for.

If you read some of the reviews you might find that some believe that the Kota's don't always give you a full charge (this could be with the higher amp chargers??). I prefer the Pro line but don't have personal experience with Minns.
