I saw them on Bassmaster. What are they? The PP "charge" and the other deal that looks like a graph?

Looks like an on board battery management system. Charges while on the water, will pull amps from trolling motor battery to jump your cranking battery, etc...

I don't think it charges while on the water but when the big motor is running it will spread the charge to all batteries.

You're an Aggie and don't know the answer? You alternator maintains the charge on your cranking battery. Any left over amperage is spread to your TM batteries but it's never enough to maintain the charge on them.

I wonder if it's better than Stay-N-Charge or the one MinnKota makes?

Looks more similar to the Minn Kota DC Alternator Charger. Although this will do 4 batteries.

I like the idea that you can look on your phone (or the vison tablet) and see where your battery levels are
