24V Battery Chargers on the Cheap?
Posted on 4/4/13 at 1:04 pm
Posted on 4/4/13 at 1:04 pm
I recently rigged up my trolling motor to run on 24v instead of 12. But that basically makes my old 12v charger useless. I can always charge the batteries separate but I'd rather use a 24v charger instead of having to frick with the wiring each time. Problem is - they're dammed expensive. Cant find any on craigslist and Grainger wants over $100 for one. Any tips from you OBers?
For your trouble I give you:

get an onboard charger...we have this one and its been a good one. and its on sale for 139.00
For what you are looking to do its going to be hard to find anything worth wild under a 100.00.

So this charger remains connected to your batteries and charges them when you come in to "port" and plug in the extension cord?

Correct
About the only issue is sometimes finding a place to mount the on board charger.

you are saying your 12volt motor is now getting 24 volts? that won't last long.

They do make TM's that can be wired for both..
But you are right if he has a straight 12v TM he will burn it up.

Naw, it's a Motorguide that can be rigged both ways. I just chose 24V.

Even though your TM is rigged for 24V, you charge the batteries separately. A two bank onboard charger can charge both at once. A three bank can charge you TM batteries and the starting battery

Great white bufallo.
Depending on how quick you want your batteries to charge back up, depends on how much you are going to spend.
I have been trying to find a deal on a minn kota mk330, 3 bank, 10 amps per bank, retail for $300~
