Looking at Minn Kota 4 bank battery chargers. Anyone have experience with them? Are Dual Pro chargers better? I’m looking to get a built in charger tired of lugging around this piggyback charger.

Both good chargers. I like the fact that the MK460PC is less than half the weight and smaller than the Dual Pro. I'v had two of them now and no complaints. Ability to select AGM or Lead Acid charging profile at each bank is nice.

I have the MK PC460 its 4 Bank 15 AMP each Battery. but use on 3 batterys, I just took out the fuse for 4th Bank.. Some day planning on adding a 4th Battery for House/Acc use on Boat.
I have a dual pro, and after a full tournament day running 2 12" & 1 9" graghs + 112 Ultrex, all 4 batteries were charged when I looked 3 hrs later.
FYI...My dual pro is a piggyback charger and not an on board charger. Great customer service
I just upgraded from a dealer installed Dual Pro 2 bank to a Dual Pro 3 bank. I loved the original one, so that is the biggest reason I bought a Dual Pro this time. I must admit, the lighter Minn Kota would have been easier to mount. This thing is heavy. Other than weight, I don’t see any real advantages to either. The Dual Pro is rebuildable though. I do see people mention Minn Kota’s ability to select conventional flooded or agm quite often. The Dual Pro doesn’t have this feature, it just does it on its own for you. Capability of both chargers seem to be about the same. I also recommend BBG Marine. They gave me a better deal than I could find anywhere (eBay included) and the shipping was very fast.
I had a MK digital 3 bank on my 719. If it would've went out that would've been fine. But something happened, and it zapped all three of my batteries, so not only did I have to buy a new charger, I had to buy new batteries as well. It didn't do the surge/float thing after they were charged. So I called MK to ask them to fix it. I was willing to ship it and pay them a fee to fix. They told me it wasn't fixable, and that they are sealed units and they aren't capable of working on them. So I decided to go with Dual Pro. I absolutely love it, it is a little heavier, but I've had ZERO issues with it. If it breaks, they can and WILL repair it instead of having to purchase a new one. Just my opinion, I'm sure others will chime in too.
