| Being as that I do as much walleye fishing as I do musky fishing, I am not usually running all over the place. I spend a lot of time on the bowmount, way more than on the big motor, so my cranking battery doesn't get a lot of charge time on the water.
I'm not going to get in any kind of big arguement here. I'm an Electrical Engineer, and I know what I know. What I said above is true. It is better for the batteries to charge at a higher rate. 10 is higher than 5. 20 could be too high as it might create heat at the terminals. I'm sticking with my 10/10/5 Guest. The 10/10/10 Minn Kota is also a good charger. The 5/5/5 Minn Kota may work very well for you. But you may run into a situation where you will be lacking full charge in the morning. And I'm not saying the ProMariner is not a good charger. If it works for you, that's great.
Sled, yes, the 10/10/5/ is the two TM's and the Cranking Battery. I ran my LXC111 and a 334 all day long, plus livewell aeration, and bilge pumps. Never had an issue. I do not advise connecting electronics to the TM battery. Noise could be an issue. | |
