Wanted 3 Bank Battery Charger?

Featured Replies

I am looking for a good 3 bank battery charger. Does anyone have one or have a recommendation on what one to get?

Ebay has a Minn Kota 3 bank for $125. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

What's it for? A 24 volt trolling motor and the main engine battery? A three battery 36 volt trolling motor?

Will you ever need it to charge quickly. After a long day on the water, and getting home at dark, will you want to be at the lake by sunrise the next day?

Basically, what you need for a charger depends on how much you draw your batteries down, and how quickly you want to be able to recharge them.

Not knowing that info, it's impossible to make an informed recommendation.

It is for a 24v and a starting battery. I'm thinking 6-6-4? Will this charge me up with an 8 hour turnaround?

It depends on how far you draw down your batteries. My Z-8 came with a Guest two bank charger, 5 amps per bank. So far, it has charged the batteries for the next day when plugged in after a long day on the water. It did the job on the road trip to Guntersville this past spring.

I'm guessing the six amp per bank should do the job, but there are others on the forum that can give you a better answer than I.

I have the MinnKota three bank on mine and love it. I even left my batteries in the boat over the winter (with everything but the charger disconnected). I tried BPS model and ended up replacing it after the second season of use. I have a 24volt T/M and the cranking battery also.

BTW, that's a good price on e-bay.
