Post by JimGilly »

Planning to install an onboard battery maintenance/charger soon, two battery system. Any recommendations as to which charger is best?

The ProMariner ones seem to sort of be the standard - https://www.promariner.com/en/products/ ... roSport-HD
Some people have used Noco and other chargers and are happy with them as well.

I have the Noco dual charger.



I've had the Noco Feedthrough sitting in my workshop for almost a year :)



Time to get around to install it before the boat wrap!

Thanks y'all; decided to go with the Cobalt standard, the ProMariner, Gen 3 I think; did order the Noco Port to make it easy to connect to shore power.

If mine goes out, I will buy the Victron Phoenix 50A. I have the single port model in my trailer and they make a 3 port that would work great in the boat. It is nice since you can monitor it with an app on your phone and setup custom charge parameters if you want. Problem is that it is expensive.
