Update,
I replaced the Truecharge 2 battery charger with a ProNautic, and the nuisance breaker tripping problems went away. I thought I could get away with maybe a hundred dollar charger, like the Promariner, but it was not recommended for the starter battery I have, so I had to bite the bullet and get the fancier one. It did come with the battery temp sensor, tho.

I could see maybe 4-5 amps at startup, but unless you have 15-18 amps of other loads there is no way that charger should blow a 20 amp 120 volt breaker!

Interesting, I have a Truecharge2, 20 amp which charges my starting battery. Now that I am hauled and plugged into a 20 amp 120 V plug, it pops the breaker. Is there such a thing as a soft start for a charger, which doesn’t send a surge through when initially turned on? Bill Coleman Erie PA
