A few Hybrids and headaches

[Bicey]

That's a good idea. .....charging 2 batteries at once....nice. My charger goes into maintenance mode when the batteries are at full charge, but I like the idea of charging 2 at once. I am a little worried about the charger being the culprit, because for all three of my batteries to go bad at once is not likely.

Hate to say it but its prob ur charger bro. I never had good luck w the portables, and its impossible w multi battery setups. In the big boat I have a minnkota 5/5/3 that goes to the 2 troll batteries (31's)and the 3 amp goes to the electronics battery (27)that is also a backup for main engine. The main has a 60 amp alternator and is on LH so its always charged up by the big motor very quickly, its an AGM thats a starting/deepcycle dual purpose(29), great battery, they are all battery plus batteries, 2 years on the leads and 4 years on the AGM warranty wise. In the little boat I have 2 wally world maxx29s for the troller batteries and also 1 for the main motor/electronics, w a dual pro 5/5/5 on them. I have a 4th maxx29 that I remove and only bring it for the 55lb thrust on the kicker bracket if im trollin that day or running downriggers, I use it on a switch off dash for DRiggers or a hotfoot from the bow for a trolling kicker. Ive had 2 batteries that were almost new go bad from a good portable charger, Im pretty sure it was the charger that did them in, any batteries I have in my boats that are rigged to permanent chargers seem to last a long time. Like I said earlier charge them back up ASAP, anything more than 12 hrs after use gives them memory u can never get back
