two batteries, one trickle charger

[jennis9]

we have our system divided between "loads" - all navigational equipment are wired to BAT1 - and directly to the alternator. BAT2 is our GPS, stereo, etc - and stands alone. i would like to install one unit that would trickle charge them both. any suggestions? we're not at the point of having an electric trolling motor - but will expand as needed in the future.

on board chargers are made to do this ,you can get them from 50 bucks up to what ever you want to spend but they make 1,2,3,and 4 bank chargers. i bought a 3 bank for my cranking and 2 trolling bats a month or so back and love it so far. got it from bass pro shops
