[@eggfueggfuu748]

Thank your video was the only one I could find explaining the charging of 2-12v batteries for 24v thank you

[@led8541]

Glad I could help

I'm setting up my 1st Boat a 14 ft aluminum Boat with a 24 Volt Trolling Motor & 10 HP 2 stroke with an Electric strater, I plan on using the 3rd battery for the starter, Lights, horn ect.. this is the most clear explaination of 24V & 12V system and the charging it I have seen, Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Hey Dan glad i could help

[@roccomicelotta3798]

Thanks for sharing this video. I did my best to understand how to install my three bank battery charger to my 24 volt trolling motor. I didn’t want to blow up my boat. Your video helped me understand how to make these connections so I can sleep at night. Ric

Hey Rocco Im glad i could help Have a great rest of your week led

[@rodneymontague9987]

I watched one more video after this one and I made a few comments here helping some with questions. But I was still hung up on having charger leads on batteries that were connected together in a 24 V series connection. Then it hit me! You big dummy your charging with amps not volts! Nobody mentions that in their videos and I seen some comments that made me realize I wasn’t the only one. Hope this helps! Good video Led.

Excellent video and very helpful explanation of 24 volt wiring. Now go get those bass!!

Good deal brother.. Doesn't break down hooking up a 24 volt system up with a 3 bank charger any plainer...awesome

Thank you for a simple Explanation on hooking up the charger leads!! Perfect in every way !!

[@led8541]

thanks for watching

[@ernestodelao1601]

Is it possible to have the charger hooked up in correctly but still get flashing yellow indicators lights on all 3 tht do turn green? I'm asking because after this winter I rehooked up the batteries and have no accessory power. The boat dealer installed a 3 bank from a 2 bank charger last summer.

[@led8541]

The charger may be hooked up correctly but the cable going to your accessory pannel may not be hooked up right or its not hooked up at all. the accessory should be hooked up to the cranking battery. I would look and see if it is hooked up right it may be reversed .

[@ernestodelao1601]

Ok. Im pretty sure. I only have the motor cables and the #1 charger connected to the cranking battery. I have big plans with the boat this weekend but can't get to it till I get to my cabin this weekend its driving me crazy!

[@led8541]

@@ernestodelao1601 Good luck with it and have fun at the cabin

[@smprfly]

Ah the springtime maintenance on a boat. Gotta love it. Good video.

[@led8541]

thanks for watching

[@linleyvanacore3036]

do you put your battery selector to OFF?? or leave on 1+2?

[@led8541]

When im not using the boat i do turn my fuse switches off. But I have my batteries plugged in 24/7 they are never not on charge unless im fishing .

[@tylerhopkins5373]

My dad has a 2 bank or possible 3 bank for his boat. He has the 2 12 volt batteries for the trolling motor. He disconnects one end of the crossover wire when he plugs it in to charge. Any idea why he would have done that?

[@led8541]

Hey Tyler i have no clue why he would disconnect any of the wires to charge. seems to me that it would not charge . Im not sure what he has goin on without seeing it. Good luck with it.

[@JamesWhite-tg4kw]

Sounds like he is unhooking that because he was scared of the 24v series. so he ended up taking one end of the jumper cable off. so it's like charging 2 individual 12 V batteries 👍

[@ej7447]

Thank you for a simple, clear and step-by-step explanation...........

[@led8541]

I was worried about how it would look with my GoPro upside down but it turned out OK I guess thanks for watching

[@frankevega]

Doing this tomorrow thanks!

Glad i could help

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks for showing us. Seems not very fun, I'd say! But it needs to be done for pleasurable boating.

[@led8541]

It is a pain getting them in and out but it has to be done summer is coming fast and the fish are biting thanks for stopping by Santee hope you have a great week led

[@texasbackroads4243]

What 3 bank charger was that ?

[@led8541]

Its a Delta Veiw

[@braddeford563]

You really should be seeing more than 3 years on your batteries, I use walmart DC and they last 5-6 years. I use Exide for my cranking and am seeing at least 6 on it. Great video though, tight lines!

[@led8541]

Hey Brad I think its because my radio is always on. So there is always something pulling year round. Im not sure but they never last more then 3 yrs. It does stink Thanks for stopping by the channel and have a great week led

[@3604x4]

So each bank is 12volts? I got a 3 bank 12v Noco and going to 24v trolling motor. So the jumper between batteries doesn’t need disconnected before charging? I’m trying to figure out how to charge. Great video.

[@led8541]

no you will never disconnect the charger

[@rodneymontague9987]

He’s asking about your white jumper wire between your positive and negative posts that made your bank 24V

[@conlanbartley1636]

I have a Minkota 2 bank charger for my trolling batteries. I’m gonna wire the batteries up like this for the 24v. Then I do the 4 leads from the charger to the batteries. Positive and negative to one battery and positive and negative to the other battery right

[@carriep7812]

Hi - thanks for the video, great explanations. Just got the same charger you installed in this video, but I have 4 batteries total - 2 for 24v TM 1 for all accessories, and 1 for starting. Would you happen to know if I can charge the 2 series wired batteries for the TM with a single bank? I don't mind if it took a bit longer, just looking to use all four batteries with a 3-bank charger. Oh, and I am not able to wire the single "accessory" battery and the starter battery together - they are AGM and Lithium. Thanks!

[@led8541]

Hey Carrie Im not sure about that probably should ask someone at your local dealer for that info.

[@carriep7812]

@@led8541 funny, both the battery and charger mfg said I could not, but I was able to do it! Been going strong since May. Thanks for the reply.

[@led8541]

@@carriep7812 That is good to know. Have a great rest of your week led

[@TheChodsr]

Can you tell me how can tell if I'm getting 24v because meter gauge will not read 24v properly when connected

[@led8541]

Hey Chad best bet would be to have a marine tech look at it .

[@rodneymontague9987]

Take a voltage reading with your meter set to DC between positive and negative posts it should read 24 V DC

[@mdubbyah3369]

So basically just hook em up the same way as if they were independent from each other? 1 bank=1 battery

[@adamschmidt8083]

Just to clarify your battery charger is 3 banks for 12 volt batteries correct? Not 2 for 24 and one for 12?

[@led8541]

Yes it is a 3 bank charger.

[@rodneymontague9987]

12V correct?

[@WaynJul]

Marine battery's can be expensive. I just replaced both my batteries in my F-250 and RV. Those batteries should last awhile.

[@led8541]

They do cost quit a bit these should last me a few yrs thanks for stopping by have a great week led

[@jimlucas9164]

Looks simple enough. Thanks

[@clintonmclimore8370]

Perfect explanation

[@rodneymontague9987]

If his charging unit was cracked and broken like he said in the video then neither one of his trolling motor batteries were charging properly and they probably froze.

[@3604x4]

Thanks

[@alananderson2961]

If you only get 3 years out of your batteries and one battery is cracked, then u r using poor quality batteries. I have just changed my everstart max trolling motor batters that was 5 and going on 6 years old. It was a 2 year warranty battery. $119.98 each. I have used Ever Start Walmart batteries for decades and for me they are best.
