I purchased a Xantrex TrueCharge 20+ for my boat. Since I only have two
batteries, I'm wondering about the advisabilty of using the third (unused)

I have the 40A Xantrex: great charger!

I agree with the others that this is not a Good Idea. I use my 3rd output
to recharge the battery for Near Cove's electric motor.
