Update…and thanks for all input. I’m going with replacing my existing
charger with same. From all your suggestions I think it’s worth redesigning
my current battery system this winter. Will keep me busy…and can use this
new charger at home. Thanks again for all the input. Have a great weekend!

As mentioned below, depends on what you need and how you use power. You can 
spend many hundreds of dollars, even thousands for lithium, inverter etc, or 
less than a hundred. I have all LED lights and don't often get far from home 
slip and shore power. I have a two bank, 4 amp/bank charger and lead acid. 
Start and house. Lead acid lasts me about 8 years and never ran out of power. 
Rather use boat bucks for sails, lines, blocks, etc. :-)

We have one house  and the start battery under the settee right behind the sink 
and a second house battery in the locker at the forward end of the settee which 
is connected to the windlass.  Just pulled he lead acid and went with AGMs.

While it really depends on how you intend use the boat,  I would consider an 
inverter/charger and provide for an eventual upgrade to group 31 lithium 
batteries and a dedicated AGM start battery.
I chose the Victron Multiplus 12/1600/70

I have a Noco sealed waterproof 10 amp charger on my 34 C  It has switching 
for FLA, AGM and lithium batteriers.   Very reliable.  Maybe you need 2.

Hello gang...

My battery charger died this weekend.  Its demise was swift, but provides an 
opportunity.  It was a ProMariner Sport 20amp, and apparently did a good job.  
But...since I am not an expert in this field...and need to part with boat bucks 
anyway, do you guys have better ideas?

I have two new group 27 combo batteries. No room for a third on my C$C 37/40+.  
What setups do you guys have?  Thanks.
