What charger do you recommend for charging a 12v Jonboat trolling motor battery?
 
On board charger? I don't have a on board. I just use a Delco that I bought from Sears. It has held up really well and has been used many many times over the years.
 
Not looking for an onboard charger. Just curious if there is one brand of charger that is better than the rest (within reason, of course)... Just seeing what people like and recommend.
 
I have a Wal Mart special that has served me well for 8 years now.

It has the 2/10/50-boost settings as well as an auto shutoff.
 
Hard to beat the DieHard 10/2/50 amp automatic charger. It's on sale at Sears right now, $20 off.

I am using the Minn Kota portable charge. There are no any bad experience for using it. And I am using it from last three years, I was purchased it from on-line shop, and now a days it runs without complaints.
 
+2 on the Die Hard 10/2/50 amp automatic charger.
I had one since 1990.Never had a problem with it until a I lost it and everything else in my garage after a fire.
Went right back to Sears and bought the new model of the same.

Schumacher has been making quality chargers for a long time.

I have a Ship n Shore model.
It handles all my boat, car, truck, riding mower battery needs.
 
I have an old school Schumacher that my dad handed down to me. It is probably 30 years old. It is a great charger. I had a Battery Tender that just died on me...but had a problem with the outlet in my garage that killed it.
 
I like the Sears Die Hard as well. I have this one and it works great.
