I replaced my dual bank 15A Guest Charger.
Just listed it on Ebay but I should have posted it here first. Don't know what I was thinking.

It works fine. I just moved up to 30Amp.
If anyone is interested let me know. I think I can use a flat rate box to help save on shipping costs.

Here is the link.

karl,
I've got a 1969 32 Sedan...
Not sure about how much charger I need....
Just looking to keep the batteries up to snuff while I'm gone...
Why 15 to 30 amp?

Would 15 be enough just to keep the batteries up to charge while at dockside?
Everything else runs off shore power and when were out, it's the fridge as the big draw.....

I have a similar 15-amp charger on my boat, and it has never had a problem keeping up with the fridge and a couple of lesser loads: an alarm system and a few led lights, as well as the all-important bilge pumps.

I believe my fridge draws about 7 amps when it runs, which is not all the time.

You might need more if you run a lot of lights at the dock, or other loads. But even a heavy load (12 V hair dryer) won't kill the battery and the charger can catch up.

Cant believe it sold so fast. Someone in GA got it.

I didn't feel the 15A (7.5A / battery) was keeping my Interstate SRM-29 batteries topped off.
I ran the calculations and the 15A / battery will significantly cut down the charger time and will be able to maintain the house load much better. Plus the micro-processor technology has greatly improved with all the "smart charge" features etc.
