[C320-list] New Battery Charger?

[Graeme Clark]

David
I have the same charger and it was a relatively easy fit
The only issue was the thickness of the cables from charger to battery. Way too thick to get into the connection grip
This had me worried for a bit as I was concerned about voltage drop - after all they must have made those cables thick for a reason, right?
Then it dawned on me that voltage drop is a function if length of cable so it’s fine to have a thin cable for a short distance (just think of a 30amp fuse for example!)
So I was able to snip off about half the wire cores within the outer sheath to get them to fit the ProNautic
Good luck
Graeme

PS Pro Nautic offered me a discount when I told them that my original charger had quit!

I am getting ready to replace the battery charger on my C320, and after doing some research, I have just about settled on the ProMariner ProNautic 1240P 40 Amp <https://www.amazon.com/ProMariner-ProNautic-1240P-Battery-Charger/dp/B00MYSZL2I?ref_=ast_bbp_dp> charger. It’s a three-bank charger, and I have two dual-purpose (start and house) sealed batteries on a Off-1-2-Both switch. Battery drain is relatively light; nav system and refrigerator (occasionally).
