I have 3 batteries in my boat; one 12 volt for the engine and components, the other two attached in series to make 24 volts for my trolling motor. I am looking to buy a charger that will be the easiest in terms of charging as so I do not have to manually attach a portable charge. I have seen the on board chargers that will automatically charge the battery when needed and or trickle charge the battery over months for maintenance. One in particular is XPS I 5/5/5 DC SYSTEM 12/24/36 by Bass Pro Shops. Questions •This unit does have 3 banks. Does this mean I can connect it to my 12v/24v setup; one to each battery without danger of damaging the others?

•I understand I do not have to disconnect anything as to charge. Is this correct in my config; just plug the charger in and leave it alone? •The batteries the boat dealer gave me are the type that require water with the removable cell covers; they are not maintenance free.

Now I am accustomed to removing these when placing a regular charger on said batteries as so the cells can “breath”. Do I still need to do this with this type of charger, and if so, how do you do it without acid getting to the other components of the boat. •Ventilation is supposed to be an issue but it sounds like people do this in a closed engine compartment. Can I do this with the engine compartment closed, even the trickle charging/months? I also saw they have an inlet adapter as so you can just plug an extension cord to the boat; I like this idea the best •Also, I picked this up from the dealer with them securing the battery leads with wingnuts on the smaller post. Both in my manual and on the DVD Larson specifically states “not to use wingnuts”.

Am I being a bit anal by going back to the dealer and having them fix it? I imagine I could just get the nuts with Teflon as to lock it, but still unclear on if it is just the wingnuts coming loose, but maybe also using the smaller post. I know there is a concern with these getting very hot and fire as well •Any other recommendations would be great! Thanks for your help! I'm no expert, but I just hate to see a post go un-answered. I looked at the Bass Pro Shops web site and do see the XPS i 5/5/5 charger, but did not find links to the owners manual that would help answer your questions. I do have a Guest dual onboard smart charger (two banks), so had links to their products and found that they have a triple smart charger in the same series I have that can be configured the way you desire - that is 6 amps at 12V, and 6 amps at 24V.

See diagram 7 on page 13 for this configuration. The XPS charger looks to be so similar, it would not surprise me to find Guest (or should I say Marinco) is the OEM. The charger may be permanently mounted in your boat and connections to your batteries left in place. Here's the features of the Guest charger: • Ignition Protected (USCF CFR 183.410) • IP65 (Splash proof) • Short Circuit and over current protected • Reverse Polarity Protected • Safely configured in series or parallel outputs • Humidity: 100% (condensing) humidity soak for 96 hrs. • Vibration and shock: Comply with UL991 • Fire Resistance: UL94V0 • Multi-bank chargers have a fuse located in the positive and negative legs for added protection (exception “engine start battery” bank only in positive leg). You talk about lead acid batteries.

These 'smart chargers' use 'internal micro-controlled timers to transition the charger output voltage from absorption stage to float stage to protect the battery from electrolyte depletion.' I would think that periodic checking of acid levels and addition of distilled water as necessary would still be prudent. As to charging in a closed engine compartment, some ventillation is still needed - for example leaving the engine cover off or ajar at minimum. These types of charges do generate heat. And have specific mounting requirements, if these requirements are followed, the heat should disapate and not be an issue. The use of wingnuts is not that big a deal, although I personally would change over to regular nuts - if only to pass a safety inspection. One concern I'd have is the relatively low output of either of these triple bank chargers.

5 or 6 amps is relatively low, and while I don't have the guidelines at hand, I would think this would be fine for up to a group 24 battery, but not much larger, especially if the batteries get fairly depleted during an outing, as the recharge time might be greater than 24 hours. I also can not speak to the technical questions, only about what I have. I have the Guest charger for 2 batteries like Jim R spoke of. It is permanently mounted in the engine room and on 24/7 when at dock.
