Best way to charge batteries ?

[Bluefish221]

OK Give up the beans. .....Are you trying to over think this or are you actually doing something?

2 things will cause your scenario......A Trolling Motor [TM] or a stereo amp.


I actually do know of a boat that has this problem....But his deal is different.

He has 10lbs of crap in a 5lb bag. Not enough battery bank and no where to expand....Not enough charging system to get ahead.....31 Ocean Master....twin 300 Suzuki's..... It's my sons buddy.....He can't figure out how other boats can run all this stuff and he can't?.........My son told him......cause their running 4 engines....which can put out 120amps from their alt's easy.

His boat maintains if the motors are running, but only takes 15 -20min to kill batteries if they are not.

amp's and tuna tube pumps are a BIG culprit along with the standard rest of the stuff.


Back to you:......Drawing more than a charger can put out is Hard on a charger.

Thanks Warthog. Just me overthinking. I need to go fishing....
