battery charger - which type?

[mroyten]

Just got a couple of new batteries for my boat to power my trolling motor, lights, fish finder, etc. The charger I have now will not give me a correct reading on how charged the battery actually is, it is giving it juice but the charger isn't recognizing the battery's charge.

I think I need a new charger- what do you guys recommend? My batteries are Napa Marine Deep Cycles with 80 amp hours.

Or are certain battery chargers better than others?

Dual Pro, no questions asked!

I have a Minkota and have good luck with it. Im on my 3rd year with it and I had another minkota on my old boat for about 6 years.

Dual Pro and Guest would be others to look into.

I have a Dual Pro in my boat now and think it's top of the line. I previously had a Guest and had no complaints with it either.

Feel free to check out Pro Fishing Supply if you want, I carry several different chargers from Dual Pro, Guest and Minnkota and have excellent pricing on all of them.

BTW Minnkota just came out with a rebate on their Charger models 210, 220, 315 and 330. I think it's a $25 rebate on each model and goes through the end of the year.

Dual Pro!

Are you considering a 3 bank charger to top off your starting battery?
