Ive been very happy with my NOCO genius model. comes in different amperages and bank configuratios. Will charge lead acid, agm, or LiPo. Installed one on my grady 5 years ago and It's been flawless.
I have heard a lot of positive endorsements for the NOCO line. There also though have been reports of chargers 'detecting' current issues and switching off. The charger has to be manually reset to come back on-line. The issue seems to be related by increased current draw while the charger is in maintenance mode. Some have reported that something as simple as a bilge pump kicking in when the boat is at the slip can fool the charger ino thinking that there is an unusual and unexpected load which causes the charger to think there is a fault.
Has anyone had a similar issue?

It's a little bit of a Chevy vs Ford thing... but I'd also go with Pro Mariner - the Pro Nautic series, to be exact. These have been standard issue in Sea Rays (and others) for decades with an excellent track record and a great charging profile. They're designed specifically for the marine environment. Regarding the track record... to better clarify... over 30+ years I've personally had a few of these and also see them in the many, many customer's boats we see in the shop.
