temp/voltage detecting battery charger ...
 
I'm looking for the least expensive and reliable [multiple voltage -
i.e. 6, 12, 24] battery charger currently available. Temperature sensing
is a must.

Any recommendations ?

Thank you,
Courtney

I'm not aware of a charger that does multiple voltages.

I agree. Never seen one advertised in the boating market. Car charges can
typically do 6v or 12v by flicking a switch and these are cheap. Temp
sensing is not common though. 24volt chargers are usually just 24v.

Harbor Freight has one that'll do 6,12,&24 but no temp sensing :-(

It's not a good choice for marine use.

===================================

I have never seen a marine unit with multi voltage capability. Of
course you can charge multiple 6 volt batteries in series with a
either a 12 volt or 24 volt charger depending on number of
batteries. My old boat had (4) 6 volt batteries in series parallel
but they were charged as a single 12 volt battery. It worked fine,
and many others have done likewise.

Temperature sensing is available with some of the inverter/charger
combinations such as Heart Interface or Xantrex.
