Battery Charger Woes
I was checking things out on my boat, and I noticed one bank would not stop
charging. I unplugged the charger and checked the voltage. The one that had stopped charging read 12.98 volts and the one that was still charging read 13.98 volts. I am thinking its time for a new charger. (The batteries are only a few months old) -- ** FREE Fishing Lures ** Weekly drawing ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com

(The batteries are only a few months old) Next time, reverse the hookups, so each charger is charging the OTHER battery. If the problem stays with the battery, it's the battery. Not unusual for a few month old battery to go bad. There are such things as manufacturing defects, after all. RichZ© www.richz.com/fishing

Battery Charger Woes
That is a good idea. I hadn't seriously considered that. I will check the
water levels, and swap the banks on the charger. Thank you. -- ** FREE Fishing Lures ** Weekly drawing ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com "RichZ" wrote in message ...
