    [QUOTE=Redngoo;13174072]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 not try 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.

    NOCO GenPro
    Lighter than most, and doesn’t get hot when charging. Quality cabling and construction.

    Dual Pro. They can profile charging to your battery brand, tell them when you order.

    My 315D is over 12 years old and still going strong, I also removed it from the boat to make room for a bigger battery (small compartment). I guess it will last a long time not bouncing down the lake !

    I use a single Stealth 1 charger that works great for all five of my batteries. I use four 100 aH lithium batteries (three for the Ghost motor, and one house battery for all electronics) and one AGM starting battery. My Stealth 1 AC charger has two sets of charging leads (one for the house battery and one for the starting battery). Then the DC portion of the charger charges all the trolling motor batteries. Been working flawlessly for 2 full years now, and had previous versions of Stealth 1 chargers for wet cell batteries for 20 years.
    ciao,

    nope all these chargers get pretty dern hot, heat causes a shorter life on electronics, a fan keeps these dudes almost cold during charging. I even used rubber stand off mounts to aid in cooling.

    Minn Kota PCL manual states that charger can reach 150F during charging, so presumably they have designed accordingly with material selection. I have measured 130F on mine. They also recommend extension cord gage in the user manual. Do not undersize your cord gage. Fan can only help.
