    Default 24volt charger


    I have a 24v TM. Its always been a hassle to charge the batteries.
    I disconect the bats and connect a 12v charger to each.
    While they get fully charged over night I'd prefer not to disconnect the bats.
    I found thousands of 24v chargers on ebay for wheel chairs, golfcarts etc.
    Can I use one to charge both deep cycle bats together?
    Thanks

    Why don't you just get an on-board charger. Problem solved.

    You do not need a 24 volt charger....your batteries are 12 volt. ( just wired for 24) You also do not have to unhook or disconnect them to charge. Get you a two bank onboard charger and connect a bank to each battery....then plug it in everytime you come in from fishing....I leave mine on 24/7 when I am not fishing.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    What they said and a good 2 bank onboard will be a bunch cheaper than a straight 24.

    and if you have a start battery for the motor get a good 3 bank charger. I keep mine plugged up 24/7 when not in use.

    ...and if you fish mostly TMO lakes like I do--get two-bank and 3-bank chargers so your a.m. batteries and p.m. batteries are equally charged.
