Mastervolt Easycharge 10A dual output charger ?

[Refueler]

As many know - I'm a bit of a cheapskate ! But I'm having a brainstorm moment !!

I was looking through my SVB Marine catalogue and this item caught my eye .... I'm considering ordering 2 or 3 !!

Question :

Anyone using this model ?

Any comments good or bad in use ?

Just to advise - I'm not looking for alternative unless it offers same / similar unattended service at same or lower price. This is not an invitation to start a brand vs brand discussion ...

Not much more money, better charger with more/better features, especially if you leave unattended.

The prompt has been this last trip - my charger regime is a bit on the low amps side and I am about to replace two batterys (the dual domestic bank) .... so decided I would up my regime ...

If it works good - then I will look at similar again for the MoBo ..... (MoBo - that is dependent of course on my ideas about solar power to the pontoons ... ).

OK - I'm curious - What charger are you recc'dg .... basically 240v in ... two outputs ... self regulating / maintenance etc etc. Indicator of charging or not.

My bad, forgot to include a link. 240v in, 3 out, 15a. Bluetooth so you can monitor on your phone or tablet and you can configure it too. Much more flexible than the Mastervolt one. Also has a sleep/standby function, which is really useful if you're leaving the boat for a while.

Nothing wrong with Mastervolt as a brand, but in this instance, the Victron is a better model and represents better value, IMO.

Yes ... I agree ....

The MV is already ordered - but will consider the Victron for the other boat ...

Yesterday package arrived ... heavier and larger than I imagined.

Soon I will be installing on the Conq 38 ..... updates to follow.

Victron is ordered as well ....

TBH - I don't need BT .. but 3 outputs could be handy .. plus the higher ampage.


Next is to replace the batts on the 38 .... go see my pal for a deal !!
