Location: 31 | I can't say the Stealth is better but still highly recommend that type of system, I'm also a firm believer in their claim that the batteries last longer too.
I currently have my best charging system ever now with it at the the heart of the system; the Stealth I, 2 on-board A/C chargers, and a 4 position gauge to monitor each battery individually. I've been using the same stealth charger on my last 3 boats, and would never own another fishing boat without one (it's a complete non-issue regarding the 13V deal).
The stealth not only works on the water redirecting the charge from both of the boat motors, it also works identically when you plug in an AC charger… very precise charging, and will never allow an overcharge of the 36 V batteries. Also, the four position gauge is important because it allows you know the battery condition before a trip, check both boat motor alternators, check both A/C battery chargers, and check if the Stealth is hooked up and functioning properly ($50).
When I bought this Stealth they did not have the piggyback A/C charger (which looks sweet), but the system still works well with any good charger (even a portable). However, it's more convenient just plug in one charger (I use an on board 6 amp to maintain). I still have the typical 20 amp 36 V on board charger for the TM too, and even though the guys at Stealth say it doesn't allow any current back feed, I still disconnect it from the 36 V with a circuit breaker before plugging it in.
If you want to drop me a PM with your phone number I'll give you a call when it's convenient.
