After several good years of use, my Minn Kota MK 440d charger has lost one charger bank.  Minn Kota says it needs replaced (well out of warranty).  This charger is a tank.  It weighs about 20lbs, but the reason I got this one is the footprint is small (7.5” x 11.5”) and it fits better in my boat.  The new version of this charger that I want is the MK440PCL.  This charger looks much smaller and lighter than the old one.  Footprint is 10”x10” and it’s about HALF (yes, half!) the weight.  WHY?  What is the difference that makes this charger so much smaller?

I’m guessing newer technology.

I went with the mk440 pc charger.  Found it at boe marine for $328.51 no tax + free shipping. I’m happy with that.  Now I’ll be selling the other charger on here as a 3 bank charger.  The other three still work good.

Good choice and good price…?
