Minn Kota Dc Alternator Charger

[roy_eros]

I have had some issues with trolling batteries running weak towards the end of long days on the water. Been looking at the minn kota alternator chargers, but havent heard of anybody who had tried one. From what i understand they put some charge back in your trolling batteries from your motors alternator when you run between spots. I am running a 24volt system so im not sure if it would hook up alright? Here is a link to the minn kota sight.. http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/battery_chargers/dc_alternator.aspx

Let me know what some of you guys think, would like to hear some reviews before i drop over $100 on one of these bad boys..lol

I don't know what brand it is, but my boss has one of those chargers on his Tracker Tundra 24 volt trolling motor batteries. He loves it. He says when he fishes in Canada, he doesn't charge the batteries with electricity all week. They do make some long runs, though. He has told me he will never have a boat without an alternator charger again.

I am not familiar with the minnKota, but you need to look into a Stay n Charge system. www.stayncharge.com Great product and great customer service. The All Charge will charge your trolling batteries while the big motor is running. Great customer service too, Jim is an A+ guy.
