Pros
- Lithium, AGM or flooded profile set separately on each bank, so a LiFePO4 trolling bank and a lead acid starting battery can share it
- Wakes a lithium battery whose BMS has shut it off, instead of reporting a dead battery
- Per bank charge level lights for lead acid batteries
- Low price for a lithium ready onboard charger
Cons
- 6 A per bank is slow for a large, deeply drained deep cycle battery
- No published IP rating; Minn Kota only calls it waterproof
- Runs on 120 V AC only
