Just picked up a 29DC Everstart Maxx battery and a minn kota box for my 55# trolling motor.

 

Two questions immediately come to mind:

 

1. Can the battery be charged through the terminals on the outside of the box?

2. Is there a preferred brand/model of charger?  It will not be inboard so I've been looking at Walmart, amazon and see conventional and deep cycle ones.

 

Suggestions or advice here?   I don't want to ruin the battery by using something wrong on it right out of the gate.

 

Thank you!

1 - Yes. I have mine hooked up through 10' of wire from the terminals on the box to a socket back by the TM on my canoe. The TM and the Charger have the matching plugs...so it's plug-n-play. So I'm charging through a plug, 10' of wire and the box terminals. Yes, it's a MinnKota Power Center.

Don't over think it.  I've had one of these for years for my Pond Prowler and it works fine....

Charger - this is the one I have and works just fine. It's even on sale right now for $33 - https://www.westmarine.com/buy/west-marine--automatic-2a-battery-charger--14982037?recordNum=5

With the 'cigarette lighter' plug, you can plug it right into the accessory port on the MinnKota box.
