3 bank charger

[dougie511]

I was wanting some insight on what the best bang for the buck is with a 3 bank charger? Ive looked at the minn kota ones a little bit in stores and saw a 400 dollar one that is suppose to be a better charge for the batteries and make battery life last longer but is there any truth to this? Never had to buy a 3 bank charger or anything but really tired of my 2 bank charger so any help would be much appreciated! thanks!

I love my dual pro. Had a 3 bank on my last boat and a 4 bank on this boat.

I have a Minn Kota 315D.  It was less than $175, and are supposed to be very reliable.  I am happy with it so far.

I have only had mine a week...a total of about 4 charges.  I bought it after multiple recommendations.  I am sure there are better charges on the market, but Minn Kota's chargers are supposed to be really good for the price.

oh okay thats what im trying to figure out to help make my decision is just what all is out there for a good price/good quality product because i know sometimes things say they do this and that but at times it doesnt make a difference in the end so thanks!

I'll toss in another vote for Dual Pro chargers. My dad's 99 Ranger still has the original charger in it and has had zero problems. I bought a used one for my last boat from a guy upgrading to a 4 bank and it's been in my last two boats without problems as well. The other good thing about them, is if something does go wrong with them, they are serviceable, unlike most that are more so disposable.

noco Genius gen 3 is what i have had for a year now, I did have a problem with the first one i got, 3 weeks in it quit charging called and they sent me a free return shipping label and had the new one in about 8 days, Service after the sale means alot,  I read a lot of reviews before choosing this one, good luck

We all invest good money on our batteries and lets face it, better electronics will equal a better charge and your batteries will benefit from the advanced charging profiles you get.  With that being said, Dual Pro Professional and Minn Kota Precision are the only 2 I'd recommend.

I literally just posted the same exact topic in the electronics section lol, I ended up with this http://www.hodgesmarine.com/Minn-Kota-Mk-330d-3-Bank-X-10-Amps-p/min1823305.htm?gclid=COS3w4m86MwCFQMQaQodUE4HFA&ppcstrkid=1565162769&click=19&ppcsclkid=0PDz2awq8aRX&ppcsu=xhg7f5djqeniramsegdoh

You won't be disappointed with that Minn Kota, 330 D.

I've been running the 440 D for about 6 years, works great.

Thank you for the insight! It's much appreciated 

Thanks to all you guys! This helped narrow down my options

I've only used the  Promariner ProSport 20+  and an old Bass Pro Shop 3 bank charger.

I put a ProMariner Pro Tournament 3 bank in my Lund when I bought it in 2005.  It has kept my Blue Tops in working order since then.
