On board CHARGER

[SouthBay RB]

QUESTION???
I'm going to have 3 batteries 2 to the stereo and 1 starting. The 2 stereo batteries are going to be parelel.
Should I get the 2 bank 15 amp charger or 3 bank 10 amp charger? I was looking at the DUAL PROS.

Either one will work. If you go with the 3@10amp you can put 20 total amps to you stereo batts instead of 15. The 2 bank one will work fine just a bit slower. You are going to have a "2 bank system".

I run a ProPakIV in my boat that is good for up to 4 batteries but only am running three, one Optima Bluetop (dark grey case) starting battery and two Optima Bluetop's (light grey case) for the stereo. Each battery has it's own lead to the charger with the extra lead just incase I wanted to add a fourth battery (which i probably won't ever need).
Gotta love plugging in one cord (that I have hidden in one of the cup holder pockets) and charging three batteries simultaneously. :cool:

Thanx for the INFO peeps :)

Heck yea.. I'd run one :) .. Go with the 3 bank. You may be able to combine 2 banks on the charger to increase amp output if you're charging a muntiple battery bank, such as SWB pointed out..
