Default Dual bank battery charger

i need a charger. i'm getting some stuff from tacklewarehouse and they have the motorguide dual bank for 139.00. Its 5 amp per bank. My question is, if i fish back to back days will the 5 amp per bank have my batteries recharged by the next morning? say like 14 hrs on charge.....

Depends on how big the batteries are and how far are they discharged

yeah idk i have a 15 amp schumaker charger from walmart that i use on low (snowflake symbol) and i can charge a big black interstate (i forget the number size but it's the biggest one they sell at the tackle shops) in about 6-8 hours from 30-40% i think (which is about when it starts slacking on the power to the motor)...idk if this helps you.

I use a 10 amp charger bit have group 31s and typically run my batteries way down. Takes 8 -10 hours typically to get a full charge indication

If you discharge to say 40% then even on a group 31 with a 105 amp hour capacity you need 65 amp hours to get back to full. Five amps for 14 hours is 70 amp hours. It isn't that simple. Recharging starts faster and slows as it gets to full but this is the general context. In other words, not to worry.
