One of my ports went on on my Minn Kota charger. I've tried to change out fuses, wires etc. so I'm going to bit the bullet. Looking for opinions on the best charger before making a purchase. Thanks, Joe

I tried the Bass Pro XPS charger and after taking 2 back with problems, I moved to the Minn Kota charger and have had no issues with it.

Almost every discussion of "The Best Chargers" will include the NOCO Genius, the Minn Kota, and the Pro Charging Systems "Professional" Series chargers. Now the new kid on the block is the Power-Pole CHARGE Marine Power Management Station and it has been very favorable even with it's $1200.00 price tag. I use a NOCO Gen 3 version and have for a couple years since my Pro Charging Systems "Sportsmen" model went bad and it works well.

I've had nearly every brand, and had problems with all of them unfortunately. The one I had the LEAST problems with were the Dual Pro chargers.

I just got the minn kota mk440d of Ebay for a reasonable price. I had a noco charger before with no issues just need a 4 bank charger. But I really like the minn kota.

Really? Where's the 4 bank model? Additionally, there are big disadvantages to mandating that charging be done with multiple batteries in series. It is far better, in my opinion, to have individual isolated banks for charging each battery, which that product doesn't do either.

I had the Stealth 3 bank charger and it would never charge the third battery. Only the first two which was useless to me so I got rid of it.

Thanks for the feedback. I wound up going with Minn Kota because I found a really good deal on one.
