What's the difference between a 2 bank and a 3 bank battery charger?
Would it be a good idea to get a 3 bank battery charger? Maybe for an accessory battery or something? Or does it have to do with the type of battery its charging and not how many? Whats the difference between a 2 bank and a 3 bank battery charger?

A 2 bank charger is designed to supply 24 volts of charging power to 2 12 volt batteries. A 3 bank charger is designed to supply 36 volts to 3 12 volt batteries.
@WesternTroutBum A 3 bank charger actually supplies 12 volts to 3 different batteries via separate 12 v legs. So each battery gets 12 volts not 36.
It would be more beneficial for you to upgrade your current batteries rather than to add another battery and have to get a new charger.
Ahhh that is a really good call. The cost is going to be roughly the same but the reliability and less maintenance will be very beneficial in the long run.
