Pros
  • Small and light enough to fit under a console or in a tight hull compartment
  • A lithium mode on every bank, so LiFePO4 trolling motor batteries can share the charger with a lead acid starting battery
  • Per bank 25 to 100% charge lights show how far along each battery is without a meter
  • IP68 sealed and mountable in any orientation, even upside down
Cons
  • 5 A per bank is slow for big deep cycle batteries; the maker rates it for batteries up to 120 Ah
  • Only a 3 year warranty, where the best rivals give 5
  • A single bank only covers one battery; a boat with a starting and a house battery needs two banks
