Pros
- Charges three batteries at once for a starting battery plus a 24 V trolling motor pair
- 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
