    The 460pcl may be a while, I had a couple recently but they are on backorder again now until end off Feb, I should have ordered more while they were available. The Nocos do a great job and are readily available

    I have a 10 year old Minn Kota 315D charger and it still works great (original batteries lasted over 7 years). I think the Minn Kota charger is better quality than the Noco (made in China), the Noco is cheaper but will it last longer ? To be honest with you, after original batteries were replaced, i pulled the charger out of the boat because compartment space was tight and wanted to replace starting battery with a bigger one, charger is now mounted to plywood and hooked up to batteries once in the garage, once charged it is disconnected until the day before next trip. I don't leave it plugged in 24/7 either. I don't know if its lasted this long because its not bouncing down the lake, but I still think Minn Kota is the better choice, and they also have a 3 year warranty !

    I am in no hurry to pick a charger really both have a 3 year warranty and seem to be decent chargers . the Minn Kota is lighter by about 6 lbs not sure if thats a good or bad thing . just not many reviews or people with the PCL chargers to get a good comparison .

    The ionic charger I got from Andy seems to work quite well, can’t attest to the longevity yet but it is working as designed so far….

    I don't think many people have been able to get them yet to review

    I've been searching for a MK-330 PCL for 5 months now

    I ordered the 5 bank PCL Friday. It’s backordered everywhere so delivery is expected early Feb.
