The Minn Kota MK-318 PCL is a 3-bank, 18-amp on-board charger engineered for anglers running 12-volt lithium (LiFePO4) battery systems — while remaining fully compatible with AGM and flooded lead-acid banks. Per-bank battery-type selection delivers charge curves matched to your exact battery chemistry, and the microprocessor-based digital control can revive a dead LiFePO4 battery from standby automatically. Automatic temperature compensation and low-line voltage compensation keep every charge fast and accurate regardless of conditions, making this a reliable permanent install for any saltwater or freshwater vessel.

Features:

• Per-bank battery-type selection — configure each bank individually for Lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, or flooded lead-acid to ensure a safe, protected charge
• Automatic temperature compensation senses ambient temperature shifts and adjusts the charge rate accordingly
• Low-line voltage compensation maintains a consistent charge output even when AC outlets fall below 120 volts
• Battery equalization mode cleans and protects flooded lead-acid batteries on every charge cycle, with a deeper manual equalization available at the push of a button
• Microprocessor-based digital control delivers precise charge management and can automatically wake dead 12-volt LiFePO4 batteries from standby
• LED indicator lights display charge stage, maintenance mode status, error codes, and full-charge confirmation
• Automatic multi-stage charging regulates voltage and current throughout the entire charge cycle for a fast, safe result
• Waterproof, shock-resistant, and vibration-resistant construction rated for permanent on-board installation
• Backed by a full 3-year replacement warranty
