Subject: Another PD55 q....


My portable charger says at the end of a session that the battery is full, but when I hit the test button on the led base of the PD 55, only 3 lights come on. It even did this over the winter in the basement before I had installed it, before I wired in the breaker. Battery is a 27 series deep cycle new from WallyWorld last fall, never used it until this spring. Used it abit yesterday and charged it right away when I returned. Should I be concerned that the battery is NOT full or might it be a simple bulb out on this MinnKota???? Thanks again.

Mine does the same thing, when the charger is on it will read full but disconnected it only reads 3/4. I wouldn't worry about it YET, if it really bothers you that much maybe you could buy a better battery than the wallyworld for starters.

I've got new Remy 31 series batteries this year. The TM shows only 3 lit up. I think my last one would show 4, but only if it was just off the charger. After any use, or sitting for a couple days, it showed 3.

If your battery doesn't last a whole day, get another, and wire in parrallel. This will increase you time almost threefold.

Sounds strange to me... I have a 50PD and it shows full charge until you can notice its losing power.
