onboard charger recommendation

[Cosmos]

Hi Guys,

 

Looking to get 1 bank onboard charger. Would like to know which one to buy. I was thinking about MinnKota 110D, but I don't mind to get something different.

 

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Guest 2611 would be my choice

My father has had a 110D for a while now and really likes it. The 10 amps charges the battery pretty quick.

 

I have a 330 as well and it works just as well. after a day on the water, I can plug it in and within 3 hours, my batteries are topped up and ready for the next outing. My batteries are usually only ever drained to half on a full day of fishing to give you an idea of what you would be looking for.

Guest for sure. I got the recommendation from Lew and a few other guys here, zero complaints with mine.

I bought the Guest 2611 back in '99 and it's still going strong 15 years later for the 2nd owner of the boat.

 

They make a great charger.

Following your advise I found this one, price is great:

I need 1 bank charger and this one has 2 set of cables, what do I need to do with another set, which I am not going to use? if I leave it unplugged what will happen once I will put battery on charge?

[Cosmos]

Also would like to know opinion on that one:

you can use just one of the leads. The other one remove the fuse and tape up the end and hang out of any weather or water contact.

You'll eventually get a 24V motor, just leave the other lead wrapped up until you do

Thank you guys

 

 

Any good words about ProMariner chargers?

I've had a few chargers in my bass boats over the years. I have had Guest and Minn Kota Chargers that died or lost a bank. None of the chargers were as good as or as durable as the Dual Pro Charger I currently have. A few friends have the same charger in their boats and they too have been going strong for a few years.

I can vouch for the dual pro. its been im my boat since 96 without any issues.
