Know before you buy
Yes, the system is designed to handle mixed battery banks. It supports lead acid, AGM, GEL, lithium, and TPPL batteries, automatically adjusting the charging profile to match the specific needs of each connected battery.
The system utilizes power from your outboard motor's alternator while you are running to charge your batteries. It intelligently distributes that power to ensure your cranking battery stays topped off while simultaneously replenishing your trolling motor batteries.
The Charge system includes a built-in emergency power transfer feature. This allows you to pull power from your trolling batteries to jump-start your cranking battery, ensuring you can get your engine started and return to the dock safely.
No, you do not need to keep the app open constantly. The system manages power distribution automatically in the background, but the app provides a convenient way to check real-time status and customize your power preferences whenever you choose.
The Charge system is compatible with Lowrance units, provided you have the CM2 GATEWAY installed. This integration allows you to monitor your battery data directly on your fish finder display.
Not at all. The system features an automatic float mode that kicks in once your batteries are fully charged. This maintains them at an optimal level without the risk of overcharging, making it ideal for long-term storage.
