They sell very well in all sizes he said. I've had my X2 now for about 2 years and use it as the House/Cranking. I've been very pleased. The guys at the batteries plus had nothing but good things to say about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick2400TRS Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I’m still wondering if I need to change my charger voltage?? Has anyone else had to do this? Or just leave it as it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Charger voltage??? You should have 12v batts so you need a 12v charger. Do mean Amperage? The only thing more amperage will do for you is shorten the charge time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing more amperage will do for you is shorten the charge time. Sorry I should have explained better. ProTournament chargers told me they have 3 different charge profiles for AGM batteries. They are all very close but differ slightly, I don’t have them in front of me this second but they told me to contact the battery manufacturer to find out which is best.

KNOTNOW Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I have a 2015 24 TRS and I have 4 batteries 3 for trolling motor and 1 house battery but the way mine is set up is all the electronics and stereo and live wells run off of one of the trolling motor batteries that is isolated for 12 volts that way if that battery gets run down you switch to the emergency position and the 4th battery is only for back up starting situation. That way you always have a back up reserve battery for starting and not be stranded. Was the same way on my 22 TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 BTW - THEY KEY TO GOOD BATTERY LIFE IS TO ALWAYS CHARGE AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK HOME. I PUT MY CHARGER ON AS SOON AS I GET OFF THE WATER.... This is one of he key advantages of the Stealth....it's continually charging when your are running the engine.....my next one will be a stealth..but, I got such a good deal on my Promariner from a forum member, I could not turn it down......it's working great DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.N Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I've been using the Bass Pro 3 bank charger that puts out 5 amps per bank to charge my Deka agm's. No problems after 18 months and my batteries are always charged up for the next morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on 6 years, hopefully they will survive one more trip to the Keys next week. On 4/25/2018 at 9:02 AM, Wanaflatsfish said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polliwog Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just as a matter of battery reserve if you go off the grid while fishing in the glades, I carry a lithium emergency jump starter battery. weights about a lb and will start anything we use on our Mavericks or pathys. Great to know you have a jump if you need it. Costs $75 -$100 for a good one. Charge will last 3 or 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
