Minn Kota 5-Bank On-Board Precision Charger
Description and Application: Longer run times. Shorter charge times. That's the precision difference that keeps anglers on the water longer and puts more fish in the boat. Now, the next generation of this proven line of chargers has been optimized for 12-volt lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. Precision chargers feature battery-type selection by bank, which now includes charge curves specially formulated for the high demands of lithium batteries and can even wake these battery types from standby. Main features include: Automatic Temperature Compensation: Precision chargers sense and adjust to ambient temperature fluctuations to ensure a fast, accurate charge. Low-Line Voltage Compensation: When outlets don't put out the 120 volts they are supposed to, Precision Chargers compensate to deliver a fast, consistent charge no matter what. Battery Equalization: Cleans and protect your battery (flooded lead acid only) every time you plug in. Also activates a more rigorous, complete cleaning at the push of a button. Digital Control: Microprocessor-based design delivers a faster, more precise charge every time. Precision chargers can even wake dead 12-volt lithium (LiFePO4) batteries from standby automatically. LED Indicator Lights: Inform of charge stage, maintenance mode status, error notifications and full charge
Staff Perspective: I’ve been using Minn Kota on-board chargers for all of my fishing-boat-owning life, and I’ve never had a battery issue related to charging. With today’s high-demand battery needs, many anglers are adding a fifth battery to their set-up and knowing that lithium batteries are fully supported with this charging system, the 5-bank charger is a must for the anglers using multiple graphs at the dash and at the bow. I need to know I can depend on my batteries and that begins with a dependable charger—Minn Kota gets a nod from me. Always.
Cost: $699.99
