Anyone have suggestions on new batter charger - three stage? Light usage
dockside plug in, no refer draw, overnight cabin lights, 4 D batteries? Appreciate
any thoughts.

Clyde, I’ve got a PROMariner 1230P that I used for a short time (upgraded to a 50A Sterling with new GC batteries). It’s essentially the same as the Sterling. Includes temperature sensor, but no remote (remote works with either brand). Happy to sell it to you cheap to make room in the garage. Unfortunately we’re leaving town tomorrow for 3-4 weeks, so I couldn’t get it to you for a while.

I went with Main Sail’s (Compass Marine Inc) advice and bought the charger he recommended above, Sterling ProCharge Ultra. I bought the 30A model for my 225Ah house bank.
Along with the best price he offers great service. Reading the link he provided will answer a lot of your questions.

I put in a Pro-Mariner, four 6V Golf Cart Batteries.
In truth, I don't think you can go wrong with either the Sterling or Pro-Mariner. Go for the best price.

Sterling ProCharge Ultra 1240 here. Added the Promariner (Sterling compatible) remote a little while later.

Thanks very much everyone for your information and a special thank you to Maine
Sail for very comprehensive in depth on chargers and installation. Marchem thank you for your
offer but might have to move little faster. Again this is a great list so now will ponder.
