Thinking about purchasing one of their chargers (the 15 amp model).
I running 3 optima blue top deep cycles that I currently charge with an automatic 12 amp charger. This charger is on its last legs.
Lower amp charges are better for Optima and most AGM batteries. Would a 15 amp charger be too much? I charge two in parallel and one by itself. Not too concerned with charging the parallel two battery bank. But would 15 amps be too much for one?

Hey Mark. Long time no talk. Hope things are going great.
The two Optima's I use to run my stereo are on their 6th or 7th summer! Can't complain, especially running a 2,200 watt stereo! The key is keeping them fully charged.
Guess I shouldn't worry about the starting battery anyway since it gets charged by the alternator. Even if I charge it, it should top off really fast anyway.
