I recently purchased a used 36 volt trolling motor. I am now trying to figure out the best way to charge the batteries. Do I need to disconnect them and charge all three separately at 12 volts? Or, are there 36 volt chargers that are made for three series connected 12volts x 3 batteries?Thanks

I use separate chargers on each all at the same time. The cheapest for me was th 15/10/2 Schumacher marine at Wally world. Others have favorite set ups. I personally quit using on onboard a while back. Some will use a 3 bank system without installing it. Lots of options and Im sure several others will chime in on their own preferences.

BCB suggests the Lester chargers for 36 volts and they can be charged independently by 12 volts without disconnecting. There are plenty of suggestions in the archive here for charging, or the FAQ section listed above.
