Fishing Gear: Minn Kota Portable Battery Charger

Minn Kota Portable Battery Charger

Description and Application: With a digital design and your choice of power levels, Minn Kota’s portable chargers allow for direct connection straight to your boat’s power source. The charger features Automatic Temperature Compensation and fully automatic multi-stage charging to give your batteries the right charge every time they are hooked up. This charger will effectively charge cranking and deep-cycle batteries in a relatively short period of time and should be in the arsenal of any angler who relies on battery power.

Staff Perspective: When I go on the road for tournaments or filming ventures, I keep one of these in the truck at all times. You never expert a charging problem or failure, but it’s smart to always go prepared. I also run an Old Town AutoPilot 136, which requires the use of a 12-volt deep cycle lithium battery, and this charger serves that duty as well. It’s just another valuable tool you’ll be glad you have if you need it.

Cost:$84.99
