    Default 24v charging


    I just finished upgrading to a 24 volt trolling motor. This should keep me one the water longer. My question is: Can and how to charge with a standard 12 volt charger?

    i'm sure someone on here has a better solution but i would almost have to say you will have to charge the batteries one at a time or in paralell (spelling) instead of the series that you most likly have hooked up to run your motor meaning red to red black to black then charge as a 12 volt making sure to unhook your trolling motor .

    about the only way i know but i am new here.

    Your batteries should now be connected like this: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/showthread.php?t=48674 (the first drawing showing 2 batteries connected in series). With one charger they MUST be charged seperately. You do not have to disconnect them while charging.

    IBFISHIN is right.....I had this problem when I bought my new boat with a 24 volt TM. I ended up buying a three bank charger since using my old 12 volt charger was a pain to use moving it from battery to battery.
    Nothing better than getting out on the water.

    Default charging

    As JetBoy did, I too bought a 3 bank 30 amp onboard charger.Best investment for the boat I have made.(and I have made a bunch, just ask the Mrs.)Automatically charges all 3, shuts down when done,then kicks back on if batteries lose a little charge for whatever reason. No chance to overcharge and burn a battery up. Just plug it in when you get home and unplug when your'e ready to fish again.J.M.O. Good Fishin..

    You dont have to unscrew and take the wires off before charging? It is ok to put the clamps on the battereies and charge?
