Has anyone used a ProNautic battery charger?

My thought process was that 2 will give me redundancy if 1 fails and an added benefit is that 2-50s are cheaper than 1-100 amp. And the difference in size makes it much easier to mount the smaller chargers.

Agree the Pronautic P is a great series of charger.

Could you actually use 100 amps charging? How large is your battery bank and what type of batteries?

We installed a 40 amp ProNautic charger about 6 years ago and it's been perfect. One up side for those that are considering traveling overseas is that it will work on most voltages.

Instead of buying a isolation transformer we just plug directly from the 220V feed from the dock to the charger and then run everything else onboard with our small inventor.

One other things we like about it is the custom settings. When running the Honda 1000 we program the charger so both bulk and float are 14.5 and then monitor the batteries closely while charging. Soon as the amps in drop to about 10 we turn it off.

Secondly it has a good equalize function that we use monthly on our wet 6V deep cycles.

So far it's been great and would buy another one with no hesitation

My bank is 735-84O ah of AGM batteries depending on if I use 7 or 8 batteries.

Use both chargers in parallel. Even 100 amps is low for an AGM bank that size.
