Hey WAGS,
Reddog382 said you were the guy to talk to about battery charger questions.

RedDog382 · 06-09-2005, 12:57 AM

Corey,

Jeff must be pretty busy with something or he would have responded. Maybe we can sort out some preliminary stuff ...

How old are your batteries?

Is it just one battery or both batteries not charging on the shore cord?

Are both batteries charging when the engines are running?

Are all circuit breakers "on".?

Any light on the charger with shore cord attached and charger breaker "on"?

Did you check the fuses under the little flap door on the charger I mentioned in the other thread?

Does the 110 outlet in the cabin work on shore cord?

Can you check voltages in the batteries with a multimeter?

There are three charging loops in the charger, each charges a seperate battery. So if you have two batteries, there will still be a third charging loop available. Jeff had one of the loops go bad, so temporarily went to the third loop.

You may also have a problem with the battery isolator. I do have a spare if you find it to be the problem.

I will watch for your response and see if I can get ahold of Jeff in the next couple days.

Chris

Sorry so long to reply, I've been in Vegas losing all the Formula money I had set aside

I did lift the flap and found two fuses, both were in good order.

I do have 110power in the cabin, didn't check the outlets, but the fridge works, and the TV works.

Yes the batteries charge when motors are running.

No there is no light on on the charger whatsoever.

The charger appears absolutely dead, no cooling fan, but I know it has 110 coming in cus I found it......the hard way

All breakers are on including Too Old's favorite "gated" breaker.

Neither of the batteries charge
and batteries are right at 1 year old. Shouldn't be bad as I have always kept them plugged in when not in use.

The only thing I can think is the charger is completely bad or I have missed a breaker somewhere. I'll look again this afternoon.

Thanks for the help Chris.
