Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Looking for deep cycle battery charger suggestions

Hi folks ,I'm looking for suggestions for a good deep cycle battery charger ,my old one gave up the ghost

I have two older schumacher chargers I bought at Walmart that stay with my boat that exclusively charge my two 12 volt deep cycle AGMs. The were reasonably priced. They are 10 years old and still work just fine:

Amazon has a great price on it:

I suppose you could look at bass pro and find a few.

I have a three bank MK-315D on one boat and a Cabela`s Pro series 20 amp three bank charger on the new boat. I am pleased with both.

I have a Schumacher and a battery tender, both work great. I like the Schumacher the best.

Another little talked about, but really handy feature of the Battery Tender Plus is the option on charging your car's battery through the cigarette lighter socket. Both the cars here have their batteries under the back seat and topping the batteries off with that little tender is lots easier than pulling up the seat.

In addition to that trickle charger, I use a Walmart one that has 2 amp, 12 amp and instant start charging capability. I'm sure that the instant start setting is harder on the battery, but it has started vehicles with dead batteries when nothing else would.

Just a postscript to my last post. That cigarette socket charger option comes in the box with the Stanley small charger, but it also works just fine with the Battery Tender Plus trickle charger.
