Any feed back one this product good or bad ? I’ve got one on the way to match my battery set up. And it’s at least 100 bucks cheaper than the Minn kota equivalent.

Mine had a bank go out at a little over 2 years old. No help from Ionic so I replaced it with a Minn Kota 460 PLC which was on sale for the same price as the Ionic. No comparison in build quality. Ionic batteries have a great reputation but their chargers, not so much.

I went with the NOCO after hearing of all the problems with the Ionic charger.

He could have sold me the Ionic charger but he didn't. I appreciated his honesty. I had a bank go out recently on my MK460 that was out of warranty. I called MK to see if it was repairable and if so how much it would. They replaced it for free with the most current version and I had the new one in days. Great service.

Do not recommend. Started with indicator lights going out one at a time until none were left. Wouldnt charge any longer anyway.

We have replaced several of the Ionic chargers, we have since started using Monster Marine chargers and or MK chargers.

I’m going to say this as nicely as I can. They are straight trash chargers. I’m on my fourth one that has been replaced by warranty, and a bank on it went bad last week. I’m going to buy a MK and be done.

As dealer for Ionic and selling 1000s of their products I will always recommend going with either Noco or Minn kota. Over the past 3-4 years Ive had to warranty so many and then figure out ways to make our customers happy with the 1 yr warranty.

I went with the NOCO after hearing of all the problems with the Ionic charger. My Ionic charger lasted 18 months. Lost one bank prior then the entire unit died a few months later. When I talked to the tech at Ionic he was less than confident in their chargers.
