Most agree that AGM and Gel pack more power and are better than the flooded type. The problem is that when one of your them goes bad, you generally cannot replace only one with a different type or the charging system won't work properly. That is until Xantrex came along with the XC2524 Independent Multi-Bank charger.
This unit is the first smart charger that can charge up to 3 different battery types simultaneously. What this means, for example, let's say you have three on your boat and one goes bad. Rather than being stuck purchasing a lesser flooded type to match your others or buying three expensive AGM or gel batteries, you can buy this charger and only replace the battery that is bad. This charger will charge your old flooded batteries as well as your new AGM or gel battery simultaneously. Then down the road when your other flooded cells go bad you can replace them one at a time with no worries about the charging system working properly.
The perfect time to replace your battery charger is when you have an old flooded battery go bad and would like to upgrade to AGM or gel batteries without replacing every battery on your boat at once. A lot of owners are reluctant to replace all batteries when only one is bad, but in the past this was the only way you could upgrade to the new AGM or gel batteries.
Marine batteries and Battery Chargers are expensive Boat Parts to replace. Many feel stuck using the old flooded batteries due to the limitations of battery chargers not being able to charge different battery types at the same time. The result is people never upgrading to the AGM or gel batteries. The Xantrex XC2524 Independent Multi-Bank Charger finally solves this problem.
