I'm in a bit of a dilemma in changing my current set up pertaining to batteries and charging.
Current setup:
2008 Triton TR-196
Mercury 200 Optimax
36v Trolling motor - 3 bank charger ran to all 3 of those batteries
Cranking battery that also powers accessories (HDS 9 Gen 3 at console, HDS 7 at bow) - no charger hooked to this battery.
I really don't like the idea of the accessories running off the cranking battery. I want to know that my outboard is going to fire right up after a long day of fishing/graphing.
Do I:
Get a 4 bank charger and not worry about the accessories running off of the cranking battery?
Add an additional battery for accessories only and add an additional 2 bank charger to charge cranking battery and accessory battery?
Anybody running a 5 battery set up?
