[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 430872, member: 15266"] I actually prefer to leave my fishfinder battery on a different charging circuit, especially if it is running off the start battery and is 10+ feet away from the other batteries. The reason is that I get trolling motor interference in my fishfinder unless I remove the fuses from the charger power wires that go to the fishfinder battery. Somehow the charger was a path for the "noise" to travel to the fishfinder. I have heard this from many others as well. So my vote is 1 2 bank charger and 1 1 bank. 5 amps per bank is good enough if you do not fish back to back days often. If you fish 2-3 days back to back you will need more like 10 amps per bank to charge them quickly enough to the next day. I have used motorguide and minnkota chargers and am happy with both! [/QUOTE]
