    Power pole Charge

    Just wondering who has one ? Is it mounted in the same place the charger has always been mounted? Just wondering what the opinions are on how it works? I am not here to debate cost etc. just wondering for those that have them what the experiences have been with it so far. Thanks

    Absolutely awesome! I mounted mine on the passenger side against the left wall in back. I have 60ah lithium trolling motor batteries and have killed them a couple times prior to getting the charge. Since I got the charge, I only plug the boat in on the night before a tournament. It’s an amazing addition to my system and I highly recommend it.

    I'm interested on how you ran your trolling motor that killed the batteries? Just for future reference on what size to get.

    Please include which trolling motor and batteries you use. I am about to pull the trigger myself.

    I have an X2 AGM as my starting battery and 3 60ah Lithiums for my trolling motor batteries plus the PP charge. I love it.... Out of habit I put the graphs that are not in use on standby. Why have the console units on while fishing on the bow? To look cool when someone comes by? To each his own but if you are concerned about battery usage you think of things like this. You would be amazed at the little things that save juice (brightness/backlight/etc).... The Charge does an awesome job maintaining the batteries during the entire day and the recharge time when I get done is maybe 1-2 hours plugged in.

    I’m running two 36v 30ah Lithium Pros for trolling and an Ionic 125 ah for graphs/starting/accessories. I run 4 Helix 12’s and a mega 360. My Lithium Pros weren’t really that hard to kill if I was fishing dirt shallow or in the heavy currents that the upper Mississippi River has to offer. Since the addition of the Charge, they’ve never been below 45% at the end of a day. Usually they stay above 90.

    I love the convenience of the charge, the customization of how I want it to charge, the ability to hit a button to change to lithium or AGM in an emergency, and most of all the ability to monitor charge and capacity. Great purchase.

    Its a great product by a great company. I have it connected to a pair of RELiON 100AH lithium's and a group 31 AGM starting battery.
