On Board Charger

Just ordered a new trolling motor and need to get a on board charger. What's a good one under $300? TIA for replies.

Anything but BPS branded ones. Get the Minn Kota or Genius you can afford.

How many banks?
$300 is a huge budget for this. Academy sells the minn kota 3 bank for about $150 IIRC

I think the one at Academy is a MK, this one is called "Precision"

how many banks do you need?...
I had a 3 bank - 2 for 24 volt trolling motor batteries and 1 for starting battery...
found out didn't need that as OB motor has a high amp alternator...ended up cooking the starter battery...
ended up with a minn kota 2 bank for my 24 volt trolling motor and am very pleased with it's performance...
lasted better than the pro mariner...

Any issues with the MK?

MK Precision Charger for the win
Posted on 3/20/20 at 12:40 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
I have the MK 315D. It's digital and has worked great! The Precision is a lot more expensive. Has features that benefit the high end batteries, AGM and such.

No, but I havent had it for very long and i just have regular lead acid batteries.
Posted on 3/20/20 at 2:54 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt
Thanks guys!! I'll get the MK.

I bought the minn Kota digital 3 bank charger from Amazon about a month ago. MK330D it was $229, same one from Cabela’s was $329

Have a 80lb Ulterra w/2 new group 31 AGMs and a flooded battery for the Merc. Just purchased a Minn Kota PC318 charger for $250 thru my local dealer w/a $50 rebate thru Minn Kota. So far the charger works and charges all batteries as advertised. Set your battery type and walk away.
