A. Don't leave the charger plugged in over 24 hours. Even a fully discharged TM battery should be fully recharged in 24hrs.
B. Given your charger is 10 years old, I would not expect much from Minnkota if it is bad.
Concerning A) If you have a charger that functions as a maintainer there is absolutely no reason to remove the battery from the charger when it’s not in use. I keep mine in the maintainer mode for the entire winter. Have been doing this for 12 years. This extends the life of the battery by preventing self leakage and prevents sulfation. Not all chargers work well as maintainers. You must know your device.
Concerning B) Of course Minn Kota is not going to make good on the charger after all this time but they know their changers better than you or anybody else. Why not ask?
