Battery Issues 2012 210 SANTE

[Zach@n3]

There is what she should have looked like. It shows up as an applicable part for a 2012 210 in the system but I can't say for sure if it was standard on team back in 12 without a phone call. The green boat you looked at here didn't have it because it wasn't a team. We have a 12 team boat in the shop currently. This is on the engine separator panel on the Port side front of the rear storage.

I am about to dump my Prosport 20.... not entirely happy with it.

I have a Noco Gen3 I am about to install, perhaps this weekend.

What issues are you having with the Prosport? I've been very happy with my 20+

You really need to evaluate how you you your batteries and how many amp/hours they are to properly choose a charger. I don't claim to be an expert, but did a fair amount of research while deciding on a charger a few years ago. If all you want is to tend the batteries during winter storage or between uses that smaller NOCO 4 amp charger would fit that scenario, but in the case of a large battery bank running a stereo system that is routinely discharged a larger multi-bank charger with higher amp output is desired.

You will want to match your charger's amp output to the battery amp/hour rating otherwise the charger will need to work harder, longer and you will run the risk of killing the charger long before it's time. IMO Nautique undersizes their chargers they are installing these days. For instance... an Interstate Group 27 battery would be well matched to a 30 amp charger if it were routinely discharged. A 20 amp would work and do fine, but could possibly be run to hard and burn out over time too early.

There is a lot of discussion over how many banks a charge needs and I never really got a definitive answer, but if you are running 2 batteries I would recommend a 2-bank charger. For example a 20 amp 2-bank charger that is distributive-on-demand could give each battery 10 amps if low on voltage, or if only one battery was low, could distribute 2 amps to one battery and 18 to the low battery.

Do some research, talk to battery charging companies and make the right.
