Down sizing Two bank charger?

[sweetwater]

A 6amp per bank charger will not be adequate for your needs if you go on any trips away from home. At 6 amps, a 100 amp hour battery will take about 17 hours to charge if it is fully discharged. I learned this the hard way. I don't even understand why Bass Pro puts this type of charger in their boats! Do not go less than 10 amps per bank. An alternative would be to hook both banks to one battery. This would halve your charging time.

It would also double the voltage, 12 volt batteries usually do not respond well to 24 volts of charge. If you wired the 2 bank charger is a series circuit it would work but if you have a 24 volt system your batteries will have an uneven charge which will decrease the life of both batteries by a significate amount. ^^^^^ that.
