Default On board battery charger

Looking to replace my on board trolling motor battery charger. What brands do you guys trust/don't trust?

Meaux fishing that's what I was looking for! Is the minn Kota worth the $500? You answered it for me. Thanks

I bought the lower level dual pro and its 6 years old no issues knock on wood.

Used Minn Kota which is decent and Pro sport under the cabelas label which is spotty
both those only lasted a few years.

I've had a 3 bank minn kota for 5 years and a single bank for 10. Both are still working fine.

I have a guest now. It's as old as the boat (2005). I would like a 3 bank to charge my 2 troll batteries and cranking batteries. What amps do y'all run? I'd like to get at least a 10 amp. That way the weekends in Toledo I know they will charge fast. I'm looking at a few other name brands like ProMariner.
