My onboard two bank battery charger has bit the dust. I'm interested in hearing feedback on everybody experience (both pros's and con's) with chargers. Thanks! Charles |

Thye Dual pro are the best by far but they still have there problems. I went though 5 units and two brands at BPS a few years back. The 6th unit was the Dual pro which three years later is working fine. Also once you drain a battery you can't get them back with the inboard you must use a manual charger! This just happened to me a few weeks ago. OzzieFish "In GOD I trust"

PS: I don't trust them to be pulled in for long periods of time like they say they can be. Over night is all I do. OzzieFish "In GOD I trust"

I firmly believe that the Dual-Pro is by far the best product on the market. My new boat came with a 3-Bank Minn-Kota so I have very little experience with it so far. If you are getting a new one, get the 3-Bank Dual-Pro. Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish FTN Webs -- Affordable Small Business & Personal Web Sites

I have a 3 bank dual pro it seems to work great. I can plug it in and basically forget it, because it does shut itself off when the batteries are charged. |

I had a two bank Minn Kota in my old boat and never had any issues with it. I'm not sure which one is in my bayboat? Quit being a mad, little bald man! I've been bringing my camera. Check out the Saltwater reports if you want to see some fish catching! http://www.myspace.com/biguncharter

I have a 3 bank dual pro that came with my Triton boat. It is 6 years old and I have had zero issues. I also do not let it charge for long durations just in case the trickle falls so that I don't cook my batteries. |
