I have been using this battery charger for about 6-8 months now.
It's what I plug the boat into at night when it go's into the garage. Its a Smart Charger 2 , 15 and 30 amp charge rates. It has also has a Jump start mode.
It has adjustable charge programs depending on your battery type. Flooded, AGM, or Optima. The reason I use a charger like this is because it takes a long time to get the batterys to 100%. And lots of the time I dont run my boat for very long. Example. Roll out to a party spot and run the system all day long and then start up and roll home. The boat might have only run for a total of 30 min's all day long. In situations like this the over night battey charger will put my bats at 100% by morning. This is not a replacment for a heavy duty on board charging system it just helps it along. The biggest charge it will throw is 30 amp's and if you have a large battery bank and you have run it low it could take some time for this charger to get you back to 100%.
