    I hope you sell a boatload of these. Seems like some great features and it's impressively light weight.

    What are the dimensions?

    Paragraph 13 of the owners manual is interesting.

    Does the table on page 15 mean the Charge will not charge lithium batteries below 32 degrees or that Lithium Batteries won't take a charge below 32 degrees?

    Disappointing that it isn't waterproof, probably has to be that way for cooling I would imagine.

    Too rich for my blood right now, maybe someday.

    Looks like a nice system, BUT what is going to prevent depth finder interference with it all being linked together??

    Why would it have interference with a depth finder?

    Agreed that it's a bit rich (for most folks blood), but when you think of what all it does, it *might* just save many a bass boat guy a tow when it'd stop their cranking battery from going dead.

    But as for not being waterproof, that's not exactly true. It's IP65 rated, which means a 6.3mm nozzle of water placed anywhere on the enclosure would not cause water to enter the enclosure. Moving to IP66 is basically the same thing, not letting water from a nozzle (12.5mm) enter the enclosure. It'd have to be IP67 or IPX7 before it'd be "Immersion proof" (up to 1 meter).

    By comparison, you won't even find a IP or IPX rating on MinnKota or Dual Pro chargers. I'd be surprised if either are immersion proof, especially the Dual Pro. Only thing you'll get from them is "water proof", which could mean any of the IP ratings.
    Later,

    Because the systems links the trolling and cranking batteries together. It has a multi directional charge capability.

    If you told guys 15 years ago bass boats would cost 100k they would say your out of your mind..if you told guys 4 years ago they would be spending 3k on a trolling motor they would have said your crazy, 4k on lithium batteries naa your nuts .... Unfortunately for all of us technology doesnt come cheap. One thing you cant do is compare the Charge system to a onboard Charger. It is a complete on and off water Battery management system there has never been anything like it.

    I saw it last year at the Bassmaster Classic. I was quite impressed and loved the Lowrance integration. With that being said I would have to win the lottery to purchase it over my trusty $200 NOCO Charger. If you can afford it this thing is awesome...

    Don’t forget an additional $120 for the C-Monster if you want it to work with your smart phone, Lowrance, Simrad or other compatible MFD
