Title: charger problems
Post by: stackenem on July 21, 2008, 06:50:54 PM
It seems as if my 2 bank minnkota charger has lost one bank is there anyone that can fix these or should I just buy another one?

Most marine grade charges are somewhat "solid state" and sealed devices.  I think it would be tough to find someone to repair it.  You might be able to send it back to Johnson Outdoors for service or replacement.  Other wise I would plan on buying a new one.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but did you check for connection problems/corrosion on the terminal posts?   I had a Dual Pro 3-bank awhile back that lost a bank an there was enough corrosion on the terminal ring that it prevented charging and the indicator light from operating.

I checked all my connections and even switched the leads around to the other batterys and it still won't work So I just went ahead and ordered a new one.

Thanks for all the info guys.
