I have a deep cycle battery and trolling motor and am curious about what charger to use. I have a standard auto battery charger a 2/10 I belive it's called. I remember hearing that it's best to only use a marine battery charger, specifically a marine multi-stage charger for deep cycle batteirs meant for trolling motors. If this is so, can anyone recommend a specific charger brand? thanks.

This 10 amp charger by Minn Kota is outstanding. . . .

Any charger will work. If it does not have an automatic shutoff keep the levels in the battery checked often.

Any good charger with an auto shutoff will suffice; remember that trickle charging (around 2 AMPS) will help maintain your batteries condition better than a quick charge.  I have seen suitable chargers in walmart but you could check Napa, Autozone etc

Slow charging is better then fast. To high a rate ie:to many amps for to long will cook the water out of the battery and could damage the plates inside. Auto charge w/shut off is best Black and Decker makes a nice unit Walmart about 30 bucks I think.
