    I’ve had them on my last 3 boats and they’re rock solid

    dependable.

    I bought from Wade at Jolly Ann Marine as well.

    I love no tax and free shipping!! (outside IA)

    You need light to release all the snagged walleyes caught when fishing for kitties right?

    Very good chargers and the best warranty on the market. They also have a mail in rebate going right now. Good choice!

    I got a 3-bank charger from Wade too. Makes life a lot easier and Minn Kota quality to boot.

    Wade, I have the same question. I would like to get the 24V Terrova ipilot too before the rebate ends… Got Terrova?

    I had a three bank two boats ago that was flawless. On my current boat I added a single bank minnkota when I went to a 36 volt system. I have my 3 bank charging the trolling motor batteries, and have the single bank Minnkota to charge my starting battery. I have issues with the single bank not wanting to charge. It is almost like the internal switch to get it to charge is sticky. I have to bump the charger a couple of times, and then it will start to charge. Today after sitting all winter I had to hit it pretty good to get it to start charging. It shut off a few times before it kept charging. It is less than a year old, but I have no idea what I did with the receipt, or I would bring it in to be replaced or fixed. I am not impressed with the single, but the first Minnkota I had was great.

    That was the surprise in case anyone was wondering.

    I think Wade is taking his afternoon nap.

    I have the 2-bank charger and got a great deal on it two years ago plus the rebate. It has been great – no problems.

    My question on the new Minnkotas is how the charger handles mixed types of batteries..meaning wet cell, Gel and AGM. Is there a switch for each battery style?

    Guys, the Terrova with I-pilots have sold out for now but we have an ETA of March 12th. Please, please, please don’t wait until the last minute and get shut out of the $100 rebate. I will go by the order date so as long as you guys get orders placed before April 15th we should be good to go on the rebate but please don’t wait that long. Backorders and fishermen’s tears make my hair fall out!

    The Minn Kota chargers are for use with 12V/6-cell batteries (50-130 amp hour rating) that are flooded/wet cell, maintenance free or starved electrolyte (AGM) only.
