MARINE BATTERY CHARGER BUYING GUIDE
LET'S FIND THE RIGHT WAY TO POWER EVERYTHING ON YOUR BOAT.
FINDING THE RIGHT CHARGER IS AS EASY AS 1-2-3
STEP 1 - HOW MANY BANKS DO YOU NEED IN A MARINE BATTERY CHARGER?
This simply depends on how many batteries you need to charge. You need one bank for each battery (include your starting battery, if appropriate).
STEP 2 - HOW MUCH POWER DO YOU NEED?
Our chargers have different levels of power in their charging banks. How much you need depends on how quickly you want your batteries to charge — or “recovery time.”
STEP 3 - SELECT THE TYPE OF MARINE BATTERY CHARGER YOU NEED
Pick the charger that works best for your boat from the types below.
