Re: On Board Charger Size?
A four output charger will cost you a bundle but if that's not an issue then yes - one set of outputs is needed for each battery. However, as was just mentioned earlier, the starting battery rarely gets deeply discharged so why not by a three output charger with 10 amp or more per output and use it just for the troller batteries. Shumacher makes a very nice on-board maintainer (1.5 amp) for about 20 bucks that you can add to the starting battery. I've used one of those on my last four boats and they work great.
