It's not just the charger. If 24 or 36 volt battery goes down, you aren't going to WM to buy one.
I went with 3 - 12v for my Skeeter.
Way to go IMHO ! One more thing.... If your starting battery goes kaput, you can't jump it off with a 24v battery. Go with 2 12volts.

Something else to consider. If you have a brushless trolling motor, they all work as a 24 or 36v. With 3 12's if one takes a dump you can switch over until you get a replacement. With a single 24 or 36 battery you're suck until you get a replacement.

Switching TM batteries to Lithium this spring. Which charger is best? MinnKota or Noco? I am on the fence between 5a or 10a. For the most part I only fish mornings and charge overnight. 10amps for anything over 50ah. Our #1 charger is the Noco genpro and the Minn kota pcl is great too. We had some issues with all of our 4 bank chargers this summer and should be fixed now (like to be up front and honest). Happy to help get ya fixed up when youre ready 🍻 http://fishtacklemarine.com3 banks. 24v TM with AGM for cranking battery. I am not concerned with charging time. Any reason other then that to get a 10A? LiFePO4 tend to prefer higher charge rates, especially as you go up in size. The rule of thumb for ideal charge rate is 0.2C. So if you have a 100Ah battery, 100Ah x 0.2 = 20a charge rate. 10a will work fine, 5a is a bit on the low side. Will it work? Yes. Is it the recommended charge rate? It's not ideal. If the price point is a hang-up, I've been using this "off brand" 10a charger with no problems. Charges my lithium and lead-acid or AGM battery. 3-bank, less than $200. (ad) https://amzn.to/49OmMCZhttps://youtu.be/eJDDVWlxIm8Price point is not really a hang-up. Just don't want to spend extra $$s if not needed. In this case looks like I need the high capacity charger for more then just the shorter charging time.
