The Guest 2632A is a really poor choice from the info I get. It will charge 2 bat sets at 5A and another at 10A. For a price listed at $329 that's pittyfull. The recomendation is for a NewmarPT 25 which will charge 3 seperate banks at 25A each. Lots faster if your grinding away with a noisemaker attempting to put something back in the house set. The PT25 also has an optional temp sensor and equalizing ability , which should be ordered for best batt life. Just because something sez "Marine" will make it expensive , but not NECESSARILY good. That why the testing services are in business. Practical Sailor, $70 a year. FAST FRED | ||

FYI, (First resource checked on Google) PT-25 NewMar Phase Three Chargers Input Voltage - 90-132/180-264 Output Voltage - 12 Output Amperage - 25 Output Banks - 3 Phase Three smart circuitry employs switching technology to charge batteries in a 3 step process: bulk, absorption and float. The chargers switch modes based on time, temperature and charge. Gel-Cell/ Flodded Lead Acid/ AGM battery type switch selects optimum charge/ float voltages Multiple isolated output banks; ammeter indicates total output current Charger status LED's Rugged stainless steel case with drip shield and marinized internal circuitry Price: $429.00 | ||

Suggest you go to Google and get specific details for unit you are looking at. According to their literature the 13 amp model is 12 volt only. Three banks means that it will charge three separate banks of batteries such as are sometimes found in the marine application. Richard |
