Matt Janes Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just wondering what other members are using to charge their deep cycle batteries. I'm in the market for a new charger. Anyone use the Noco Genius line of chargers? A friend of mine has a nautilus and seems to like it quite a bit. I'm not looking for an on board and trying to spend around $100. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmac1984 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have 2 of these that I use to charge my batterieson the boat. I have had zero issue with them. I am sure there are better out there but it does the trick. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/Batteries/BatteryChargers/PRD~0111504P/MotoMaster+12%2B2A++Automatic+Battery+Charger+with+75A+Engine.jsp?locale=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it for years now. No problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Best one I ever owned was a Guest charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Best one I ever owned was a Guest charger. Yep, a Guest on board charger for me too. It's just so much easier to just get home, plug the boat in and you're good to go. Same if you're away for more than a couple of days at a lodge or camp....plug the boat in and you're ready to go anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Guest also for me. I have my batteries load tested at the start of the season and the 7 that are on guest charger are going on there 6th season and reading at over 80% for the lowest one. My little pond boat has been maintained on a Black and decker smart charger and it failed at 4 seasons. It could be just the way I use them but I think the key is a good charger that is plugged in quickly after every trip. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I may be wrong, but I think BPS carries the Guest charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey buoy Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 My boat has a alternater. Maybe that doesn't count. If I don't get get out in three weeks,I often put the two amp charge on a day or two earlier just for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have this one http://www.boschautoparts.com/Batteries/Pages/C3BatteryCharger.aspx and an old school CTC charger like the ones mentioned about.. I like the C3 alot more small and light weight and can be left outdoors unlike the old school CTC ones. I bought my C3 @ CTC for 69.99 G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have a battery tender plus. Good unit. The major factor for me is you can leave it plugged in & won't damage your battery. Flashing green light to let you know your battery is 80% charged, solid green light to say your battery is now fully charged. $75.00 at Ramakkos in Sudbury.
