Location: 31 | Sure thing, no problem. My experience with the guys at stealth is the same; truly expert, very professional, fairly priced, and super helpful. Having attributes combined like that is a very rare commodity these days.
I just checked if the stealth AC battery charger hooked up directly to the battery, or if it charged via the stealth. It hooks up directly to the battery, so I don't really see a huge advantage for you to buy their battery charger except you know its top of the line and for the convenience.
If you're not going to pick up the stealth DC, I recommend picking up an inexpensive six amp mounted AC battery charger for the main battery, and for the maintenance of the TM batteries. This way you can still have your 24 V charger at the ready for overnight charging, but can use the more battery friendly 6 amp between trips.
The thing I like about that set up is the stealth will always safely redirect the charge to your TM batteries, (it’s still possible to overcharge your engine battery though because that charger is hooked up directly to that battery).
I do not use the battery gauge from stealth (although I'm sure it's excellent). I just picked up this model because I had a gift card, and it has worked out well for two years; http://www.cabelas.com/product/Battery-Gauges/700417.uts
I originally bought into the stealth technology about 10 years ago to help recharge the TM batteries from the boat motors because I do a lot of remote fishing, but have really come to appreciate the superior technology over the years.
I thought this was an interesting statement on their website; “Stealth1 is a battery charger not a smart switching device therefore not increasing the alternator output to make up for its loses.”
