Hi Guys:
My boat is 12 volt. My thruster is 24 volt powered by 2 separate 12 volt batteries wired in series. The charger that came with the boat for these batteries is 20 amps and is "whining" so I need to replace it.
I can only charge the batteries through the charger which is powered only by shore power or genset power, not from the alternator on either of the mains.
Question: What's the fastest charging batteries and what's the best charger to recharge them quickly, so I can leave the dock and recharge them quickly by running the gennie as little as possible? Thanks.
