I've got 2 new group 29 deep cycle batteries and am planning on getting a Blue Sea systems 7600 combiner but cannot decide which charger would be best. An ideas?

Thanks,

What is a combiner? I am going to two batteries in one bank by wiring them parallel. I had a Xantrex 10 charger but it died (in less than one year!) so I replaced it with a Charles 3 stage smart charger that performed very well on our recent cruise. Be sure you get a charger that specifies that you can use the 12 volt system WHILE CHARGING. My charger cost $234 from West Marine.

I too have a Charles 15 amp series 5000, I am very pleased with it.
