On Board Chargers

[Brad_Coovert]

I've been wanting to get a three bank charger to replace my two bank and I'm finally getting around to it. Anyone have a three bank charger? I'm trying to see what models are good to take a look at.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a GUEST 2 bank charger (I only have 2 batteries) I keep it plugged in 24/7 365 when the boats not in the water. The charger is waterproof (i know this for a fact, My bilge pump fuse fell out one day in the rain and my boat filled up)...Charger?...no problem.  When and if this one dies or I get a newer boat with 3 batteries for sure it will be Guest 10 AMP 3 Bank charger.

Although I feel there are probably better chargers out there, the 3 Bank 5/5/5 XPS has held up well in my boat for almost 3 years now. It was on sale for $99 at BPS....regular I think they are $139.

one of my boats has a BPS 5/5/5 XPS xharger and its a good charger for the $$$

my other boat has a Promariner Pro Sport 20, 20 amps/3 banks

both have the ondemand feature that I like.  say batery  1needs more of a charge than battery 2 or 3 the charger will give battery 1 more amps till its even with the other two

i Like both, both made by promareiner, have no complants. both boats had the BPS 5/5/5, but one did fail  after 3 years. it was out of warranty, but BPS and Promariner stood behind the charger and replaced it with the promariner pro sport 20.

The bps  5/5/5 is 5 years old, and the Promariner is 2 years old. They stay plugged in 24/7 when the boats are no out, and keep the batteries in great contion.

I have a Dual-Pro three bank in my boat and so far it's doing fine. But I have only had it for 5 months so I don't know how long it will last.

Mine has lasted for almost 10 years, running 24/7/365.  If it ever quits you can bet another Dual Pro will replace it

Go to the Bass Pro site www.basspro.com and read the user evaluations of the various chargers.  Dual Pro wins.  Hands Down.  Based on that information, I bought a re-built unit from Dual Pro.
