Power-Pole CHARGE Marine Power Management Station
The Power-Pole Charge Marine Power Management Station is a 500W power station designed to replace all others. Power-Pole's unique technology combines the effect of three different devices, providing ultimate capability. This single unit is a standard battery charger, a charge-on-the-run, and an emergency start system. Easily controlled by the C-Monster app, you can see your battery life in real-time and prioritize whether you want your trolling or cranking batteries to recharge first. This unit will automatically move power between the two batteries and charge while on the run from the alternator while the motor is running. Working with any battery type allows all boaters to use this unique power station. Delivering up to 40 amps of power to your cranking battery and up to 25 amps to your trolling battery will quickly become a staple in many boats.
