Battery charger

Jigger · 05-11-09, 09:17 AM

I need a new battery charger to charge trolling motor batteries. NOT an on board charger. The cheap ones I've been getting at Wal Mart often don't seem to reduce down to a trickle very well and end up boiling the fluid in the battery. Who has a battery charger they like and recommend?

Ok, I'm no expert in chargers, but I picked one out from Sears, and after 4 years, I'm very happy with it. Never had any problems.

on boards are very nice. did you get a 2 or 3 bank
ours is a 2 bank so we still have to use the sears charger for the cranking battery. the alternator keeps our cranking battery up good though.

They also make one for non-gel batteries. Same price.
