Help with Lithium Run and Gun Chargers and X2 AGM
I just recently purchased a 70 amp lithium pros battery on the black friday sale they had. I also purchased a single bank 10 am noco battery charger and a battery tray for it. Im currently running an x2 31 with 3 helix 10s and a 1022 wired with a harness directly to the main triton power switch. Im looking at adding a run and gun dc to dc charger as well and had a few questions about it. Ive seen and heard good things about the powerhouse dc to dc charger and that it is waterproof but are there any other dc to dc chargers out there that are better for a similar price? Ive seen a few on amazon with great reviews and "Marine Rated" but none seem to be actually waterproof. Another question, was do I need the single bank noco charger or will the run and gun charger, charge the battery when the main charger is plugged in or only when the alternator is running? Going to the lithium because my 2 year old x2 does not seem to be where it was when I bought it and even with near perfect wiring can only seem to keep livescope and the birds around high 11 volts most of the day. Ive heard some various opinions on whether it is easy to get batteries plus to replace it or not, and i am not currently very close to a batteries plus but I have taken it to two separate battery places in town and they tested it and claimed it tested "good". Do yall think it is worth making the hour or two drive to the closest batteries plus and seeing what they will do about it? Im running a 4 bank dual pro 60 amp charger currently.

I highly recommend a Stealth 1 Charging system. It is waterproof, small and light, and it charges my X2 AGM starter, my 100aHr Lithium house battery, and my three Lithium 100aHr trolling motor batteries. It has two AC charging cables (one for the house battery, and the other for the starting battery), and it has the DC charger which charges the trolling motor batteries once the starting battery is charged. It is the original Run and Gun charger and I have used them for more than twenty years without ever having a failure. You can see it and my setup in this magazine article and embedded video (and also on my YouTube channel @MarcMarcantonio):
