What's a good 3 bank lithium charger

[kercha83]

Just went all lithium and now I need a onboard charger that can charge lithiums...what's a good 3 bank charger for lithium

[DQM]

People will always recommend what they have, because they of course made the best decision :)

NOCO are very popular, a lot will recommend them. Although many charge their lithiums with the AGM profile because it works better for that particular charger or batteries.

I used a Minn Kota PC and then a PCL for a long time. Never any issues. That is what I would use if I went back to a normal charger. A 330PCL is a great charger.

For information sake, I actually use a Power Pole Charge at the moment.

Ask the retailer where bought the batteries. A lot have tested various chargers. If they have not tested any, well, good luck!

My Matco Tool truck guy is a Noco dealer….so I went with the GenPro10x3. Since I bought it from my Matco guy, I got a great deal, could have paid it in weekly payment if I wanted to…and a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Minnkota PCL
IONIC
Monster Marine
NOCO
DualPro

Minnkota PCL

This has worked flawlessly with two brands of lithium batteries I own.

I also have a NOCO GENPRO 10X3 and charge 3 new Lithium batteries. No problems. It has a pushbutton for each battery that allows you to select which type of battery you are charging. You can select them individually so you can have three different types of batteries and charge them at the same time.

I would recommend NOCO, Monster Marine and MinnKota. We sell most of them on the site if I can help.

Whatever you buy, be sure and bench test it out of the box before it goes in the boat. I had to uninstall one and send it back a few months ago. Bad out of box and was a pita as it always is working in bilge.

I like ionic or minn kota precision. Either I think needs a fan on them while charging, they really get hot. With fan they do not

Do they not have thermal protection? I know heat kills but seems like they would have kept that in mind during the design process. I run the PCL with 5 amps per bank and do keep my bilge lid propped open when the boat isn't in use. That said, I ran a MinnKota PC in my previous boat for years and never a problem.

Is a fan recommended for lithium charging?

Is all your lithium batteries 12v? Do you have a36v? 24v? 16v?
I went with powerhouse lithium due to their charging system.

Hard to beat noco.

[SteezMacQueen]

I chose a Noco GenPro10x3 this go’round. I still have two DualPro chargers that have never failed, they just weren’t designed for Lithium. I hope the Noco gives me the same trouble free charging for years and years. I guess time will tell.

I chose the Noco for a couple reasons, the first was it was designed to charge the lithiums and, in a pinch, an AGM or lead acid. Second reason was easily available though my Matco tool guy.

That is personal preference, mine gets hot as fire if left to its vices. I gave a fan I got from sams, blower wheel fan, stays as cool as a cucumber. I can't see it as nothing but a plus

I will have to agree with this statement! I will add... from my personal experience... I use a minkota pcl originally a pc. But..... added a house battery (lithium). The minnkota has served me well. Me personally I have not had success with nocco. Yes I was one of the guys that tried what the manufacturer of one of my batteries recommended !. Sorry... just didn't work according to my voltmeter/ and load test. I'll nottry too steer in any direction!! Just with the 3 I have tried my mkpcl has performed best. No I am no electrical expect my personal results.
