I'm re-doing the 30 year old electrics on my boat.
I've bought the AC and DC power panels, etc.
Now is the time to think about the battery charger.
I like the the specs of the Xantrex Truecharge 20 Plus, but...
the specs suggest a battery size of 2 ea 4Ds or a 8D.
My plan is to toss in a couple (100 AH start, 100 AH house)
of flooded cell Group 31s for now, and later go to AGM
200 AH batteries when the boat kitty is well again.
Will this scheme work ya think? Will the XTC-20 work?

Why not get an inverter charger? Lots of amperage available,
adjustments for different battery types/capacities, and you get the
inverter function as a bonus.
