Well that was fast...maybe not easy, but quick.  Glad your boat is all fixed and back on the water.  Nice catch for a shorter trip.  Good luck tomorrow!

That did have me quite concerned at first. When I saw it was not going to be an issue, nothing else seemed to bother me. Figured, battery bad, wiring bad, whatever, would be a small issue compared to being run over by a biggggggggg barge/tug. TT^

 Im happy to see your problem is solved Capt.Joe.    You can never have too much backup equipment. Who would of thought the charger would be the problem. Dont forget to reconnect the automatic bildge pump.  t^

Yeah electricity can be a freaky thing but when mixed with salt water it is definitely quirky.

Good luck tomorrow... t^ grtn

That stinks Joe!! Glad you made it in OK and got the problem taken care of.

The only suck part about dual batteries is that one bad battery can draw the other down, rendering them both useless. (As in your case.) Even though you have a battery switch and only one is on, they are not isolated from each other being that they are both charged from the same source. There is such a thing as a battery isolator that would allow you to charge both batteries, start from one, electronics from the other, and never have the batteries be in the same circuit. Its really cool.

Anyway, hopefully I see you this wknd. Good luck!

Pole, I had one of them aboard. Batteries were too low for that to even work. Both batteries were eventually checked (after I got in, etc) and one showed an open cell. The other read 7 volts. After a charge, that also showed to have an open cell.

Both batteries were new this year. Now I have two more new batteries and all is well.

Shkbilly, that is the next project for my boat.  TT^
