Default What is considered a "trickle charger"?

I am looking for an onboard 2 bank charger.
People have told me to not charge the batteries too fast.

I am looking for an overnight charging unit that maintains the batteies
at full charge.

Is there a max Amp rating I should target for?
My little 1 amp charger takes 3 days to charge one Interstate SRM 27 and
that is way too long.

Are you dead set on getting a charger? If you are not, then do yourself
a big favor and go online to: www.stayncharge.com. This device keeps
your boat batteries charged while you drive to & from your destination.
It is basically a wire harness designed by Jim Payne which uses your tow
vehicle's alternator to re-charge your batteries as you travel. You
never have to find a 115V. outlet ever again. No heavy charger to hook
up. No heat generated. Your batteries are charged immediately after
their being used, which all the books tell you that you are suppose to
do. Best of all, you're always ready to go and go and go, never giving
another thought to battery charging. I've had mine on my F-150 now for 2
full seasons and I absolutely LOVE it. I charge 2 batteries; one for my
trolling motor and one for my starting battery. And guess what the best
part is? It costs only $49.00! You owe it to yourself to check this out.
btw, Jim's customer service is truly outstanding! He'll help you ever
step of the way.
