If you need a quick and reliable battery charger for a 12-volt or 24-volt* battery system, this is it.

Good Transaction
I have only recently purchased this particular model Dual Pro, so I have not had enough time to get a true test of the quality of the battery charger. I will say the transaction from Battery Stuff went smoothly, and they quickly responded to a question I had concerning shipment. Although I have not had this particular model for a long period, I have owned a Dual Pro Sportsman’s Series, which was a very good charger. I had the Sportsman’s Series on my bass boat for more than 10 years before it finally succumbed to the wear and tear. I replaced it with a Pro Mariner brand, and was thoroughly disappointed in the quality of that charger. I knew I wanted to go back to Dual Pro this time, but I decided to step down to the Recreational Series to save a little money. Installation was really easy, and it appears to have high quality components. When I held this unit side by side with the Pro Mariner that I replaced, it was very easy to see that the Dual Pro was a far better built unit.
Cons:
Not really much of a “con” for me, but it does take longer to completely recharge from a deep discharge with the 6 amp Dual Pro Recreational model versus the 10 amp Dual Pro Sportsman’s (the difference being 18 hours for the Recreational and 11 hours for the Sportsman’s), but I don’t need that capability very often anymore. (If you tournament fish a lot, you probably need a higher amp than 6 so that you can have a quick turnaround recharge). For most users, the additional cost for higher amp chargers is not really worth it, because all it gets you is a quicker recharge time.

Great product.
My boat is currently a 12 volt system so I only use two batteries. If you are using this for a boat you may want to get the three bank version just in case you want to upgrade to 24 volts. I sure wish I did.
Charger works great. Does everything I need it to for my boat. Charges fast enough overnight for consecutive day trips.
Cons:
Its a little large. Having limited space on the boat the hardest part was finding a place to mount it. It would have been nice if you could unplug the cables from the charger completely for easier mounting or replacement needs.

Dual Pro 12v 6amp 2 bank marine charger
The Dual Pro charger was well packed for shipment. As soon as I opened the box the charger went to work on both my boat battery`s they have been charging ever since. It was very easy to hook up both battery`s straight forward instructions not that I needed them... I have been checking them quite often and the lights have changed from charge to ready. Everything seems to work great. The big test is installing it on the boat this summer and seeing how the charger preforms.
Cons:
I do not see any cons as of right now. I have not installed the charger in the boat yet.

Great charger - RS2
Very pleased with BatterStuff.com. Will purchase again.
The main "pros" with this charger is the ability to monitor both batteries with separate indicator lights, charging and float indicators so you know what's going on with each battery. Extremely well made product and rugged. Would highly recommend this charger.
Cons:
I've only had this in use for about a month. No "cons" at all thus far.

Dual Pro 2 Bank 12v 6amp charger
battery stuff .com has fast shipping and the package was well packed. Great to deal with. I give them 2 thumbs up.
This is my second charger in one year. I liked the first one so much I permenitly mounted in my pontoon boat and hard wired it to a plug on the side of the boat.. So I bought a second to tend to the battery`s during the winter in my basement. I can not say enough good about this charger. Great product for the money. I always brag about the charger to my boat buddy`s.
Cons:
I can not think of any..
