Walmart sells a very good "smart charger" for well under $50. It even
senses
sulfation and will desulfate if needed.

Walmart!!!?????...... Bwahahahahaahahahahahaahahaaaaa!!!!

Good Grief!!!


If the charger gives me headaches - they'll sell me a $4 bottle of
aspirin.

The charger can be left plugged in all winter without any problem. When it
comes
to battery charging, it's considerably smarter than Mooron, and knows when
to
shut up - or off. Mooron apparently thinks Walmart manufactures everything
they
sell. The tip about the excellent smart charger at a bargain price has
been
known for quite some time. Mooron is also probably ignorant of the fact
that
many "marine" accessories are available at RV stores for much lower
prices. Same
brands and models - different pricing structure.

Remember who first suggested you look at a Seaward 26RK? :^)

I've had a Newmar Consti-volt/ charger. It can keep up

to 3 battery
banks charged at a time.
Heavy duty splash proof bulkhead mounted stainless steel

case. Haven't
had a problem with it in 10 yrs.. I think it cost around

700-800

I'm guessing you didn't buy that at Wal Mart.


No...I wanted to do that right the first time. Also used all new Newmar
breaker panels on the boat. They are expensive but you pay for what you
get.

Poor broken down Mooron. Maybe someone can send him a few bucks so he can
make
rent this month. Oh.. I forgot... Mooron the manly man still lives with
his
mother, and she pays the bills!

Way to go Joe..... I had my charger built by students in an electronics
class, my buddy is the instructor. Class project. I bought the
parts/case/cables. Flawless!

I guess those $29.99 Wal-Mart chargers are okay if you have a tiny boat with
an outboard and rarely sail.

Yes, Walmart. I'm sure they didn't intend to sell such a good charger for a low
price. They ****ed up. It's a Schumacher, and every bit the equal of "marine"
smart chargers that sell for several hundred dollars.



Which model ?

Scout needs to maintain 2 group 27 batteries over the winter. You geniuses would

Newmar has several sizes of chargers. They are used widely in the
oilfiled, and yachting industry. Scout could get a 10 amp 2 bank for
around 250 from Newmar. It is compact, will still look and work like
new in 10 yrs. The Wally world special will have shorted, ate up his
propshaft and zincs with electrolysis and look like a block of rust in
3 yrs, not to mention all the sparks in the engine space if it's not
hard wired..which the mfg does not suggest or he would not have put
TEMPORY clips on the charging leads.

Scout needs to maintain 2 group 27 batteries over the

winter.

For that alone, his MC trickle chargers will do the job. he
also will need to charge them between sailings once he gets
his sails on next decade or two.

Nobody said that. Why are you so obtuse?

The Shumacher charger at Walmart will do what he
needs for under $50, and do it very well.


Which one?

He already has a camper.

Sounds like the perfect option. Some things you just do not want to go
cheap.
I even tried the RV stove route...What a mistake. Went thru 2 in 6 yrs
and finally paid the price for a force 10. Man I wish I did it right to
begin with.

I would not go that route.
