Update: MinnKota chargers seem to be great chargers for flooded wet cells but they truly do not properly or fully recharge agm batteries. Received confirmation from MinnKota this week that they can only float charge to 13.2-13.4 volts..... well under the needed 13.5-13.8Volts published specs of Agms such as made by Deka and others. The agm makers are warning against failure to 100% recharge the agms as it would be reducing the battery's life expectency.

My boat came with a 4-bank in 2007. The first one died in a month or so. The second one died in less than a month. The third one has worked great since. I think there was a bad run and I got two of them. Warranty service was outstanding. I would not be scared to recommend one. Same thing here......They replaced my 4 bank twice but I am haveing good luck with this one. I would reccomend one!

I've got one and it's been working great. Only thing I don't like about it is that the one I got came with eyelets and not aligator clips and I don't like to leave it hooked up when i'm underway because of where the batteries are so I hvae to unbolt it everytime. Easy fix, I just havn't done it yet.

4 bank in my Bug. It has worked flawless for 3 years now. Had a 3 bank in my prior boat that was also great.
