Trolling motor setups with three batteries don't always recharge evenly after a long day. This 3-bank charger shifts power where its needed most, helping all three recover and stay ready for your next trip.
When you're running a multi-battery trolling motor setup alongside house and engine systems, charging performance still needs to stay consistent even without higher-output modes. This charger is built around a 24-amp, 3-bank design that automatically distributes power using Distributed-On-Demand technology. It senses battery demand and shifts available output across connected banks. Instead of splitting power evenly, it prioritizes the batteries that need it most, helping bring all three to a full charge more efficiently and reducing downtime between trips.
Reliable charging depends on proper heat management, especially in enclosed marine installations. The tri-surface aluminum heat sink helps regulate temperature so the charger can maintain steady output without overheating. This supports reliable charging across all connected batteries while operating within its designed capacity.
Checking battery status shouldn't require opening compartments or tracing connections. The charge status AC glow plug provides a visible indication of charging, conditioning, or maintenance status from outside the boat. A dual function digital LED battery status monitor with push-to-test capability lets you check battery levels on demand, including while on the water. Built-in self test diagnostics with system check and individual battery bank fault indicators help confirm proper operation and quickly identify issues when they come up. For added visibility, the charger is prewired to accept an optional wired remote (PM55ZR - sold separately) that can be mounted in an easy-to-view location.
High-performance battery systems require the correct charging profile to avoid reduced performance or premature wear. This charger includes selectable profiles with temperature compensation for Flooded, AGM, HP AGM 1, HP AGM 2, and approved LiFePO4 batteries. The full output 5-stage charging system moves through Analyze, Charge, Condition, Auto Maintain, and monthly Storage Recondition modes, then continues monitoring to maintain battery health over time. This allows the charger to adapt to a wide range of battery configurations without manual intervention.
Chargers installed onboard need to handle constant exposure to moisture, vibration, and heat. This unit features IP67 rated waterproof construction for fresh and saltwater applications, along with ignition protection and built-in safeguards against over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, reverse polarity, and fuse-related faults. Pre-wired 6 foot DC cables simplify installation, while the overall system is designed to deliver consistent charging performance in demanding marine environments.

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Pro Mariner Pro Tournament Elite 240 Battery Charger. So if you're running multiple batteries on your fishing boat or your marine setup, you know having a reliable onboard charger isn't just convenient, it really is essential. So this is a 24 amp, three bank onboard marine battery charger. It's designed to automatically charge and maintain up to three separate batteries all at the same time. Now that's gonna make this ideal for setups that are running cranking batteries, trolling motor batteries, and even house batteries or accessory systems.
Now one of the biggest advances here, in my opinion, is convenience. Because it is an onboard charger, it's gonna stay permanently mounted on your boat. So that way when you get back from the water, you just simply plug it in and then let the system handle the rest. It's gonna automatically distribute power across all three battery banks. It's gonna help charge batteries efficiently while also maintaining their battery health over time.
Another good feature is durability. So we all know marine environments are rough. You got moisture, vibration, heat, all that kind of stuff. This is built specifically to handle those conditions. It is a fully sealed, waterproof, and shock-resistant design.
That's gonna make it a nice, strong fit for those real-world applications. As we know, boating conditions, again, everything's going up and down, side to side, and you really do need something reliable. It is also designed to run cooler and more efficient thanks to its advanced digital charging technology. And that's gonna improve long-term performance and also reduce unnecessary battery wear. And as we know, a lot of these boats have tight storage space, so the fact that it's compact is gonna make it really good as well.
So just give you a rough overall, about 14. Again, that's just rough. And then side to side here on a width, about seven inches. Now obviously I didn't include all those wires sticking out here and everything. So about 14 by seven. And so again, it's nice and small and compact. It's gonna do a great job at mounting cleanly in those battery compartments without taking up extra room. It does have automatic multi-stage charging, battery maintenance and condition modes, distributed on-demand charging technology. It's also compatible with multiple marine battery types. So again, folks, this is the Pro Mariner Pro Tournament Elite 240 Battery Charger. I'm Steve with etrailer. Thanks for watching.
