| I have a Ranger boat with a 3 bank pro charger. When I go to charge the batteries, two of the batteries charge up and turn green. One battery will charge up until there is a single red light, but it never flips to green. I have tried switching banks, but the battery produces the same result on all three banks. I have tested each of the banks on the other two batteries, and they are able to charge the batteries to green.
I have tested the suspect battery with a multimeter and the voltage reads 12.8 when not charging and 14.7 when charging. It seems that the 3 bank charger, despite not turning to green, continues to try and charge the battery. The manual says that an error code (through blinking lights) would be displayed if there was an issue with the battery.
Anyone have a problem like this where the charger could not get a battery charged all the way? Do you think I need a new batter? This is one of the deep cycle batteries connected to only the trolling motor. I have tried charging it while hooked up to the other battery and while disconnected to the other battery.
Thanks for any thoughts

| Thanks for the response.
I tried each of the leads onto one battery, and each bank did turn green, unless you mean hook them all at the same time, which I have not.

| Sounds like one battery is no good! |

Proves it's not the charger Matt. Test the batteries one at a time on a load charger (I took mine in to the seller for them to check it) and that will tell you.
It's not the charger - a good thing. |
