I put in the MK 2, that one kicks in once the starting battery is up to charge, then it starts charging the TM batteries,.. MK 2 are about 110-115 on ebay to your door
that is the unit a friend had in his ranger 2 wks ago on LOTW and it did a great job keeping his TM probably 25% more charged than if he didn't have it on board Good to know real world experience. My trouble is that my electronics drain down my starter battery causing them to turn off when I start the motor, so Im afraid it will take the alternator some time to reach 13 volts before the DC charger will kick in to charge my trolling motor batteries. I figured I could kill a couple birds with one charger in this case. Granted its more money and I have to purchase another battery, but in the long run I believe I will have much better results and not potentially blow up my electronics by having them shut down like that all the time.
I am a little worried about the 6 foot cable length though. I am going to have to get the extension. |
