You know - the one you *borrowed* from me a while back...
Finally back on the
boat, all banks are dead - as in 3v - dead. The solid state
charger I left on to maintain float charge was indicating 24 volts - and yes I have a 12 volt system. Still haven't figured that one out... reset it and it now indicates 12v
Batteries were in need of replacement anyway... now they're out for sure. Ever see a T105 with a bulging case? Not pretty.... and all 6 house
batteries were bone dry.
This is the second such incident with the
charging system on this
boat, one before I bought her. So now I'm going to rip out these inferior chargers and put the Iotas in. I may even correct the black wires that connect to the positive terminals while I'm at it..... retired
electrical engineers should NOT be allowed to own boats... or at least sell one to me....
I'm a
New England pack rat by breeding... knew I should've hung on to that unit I
sold .... Or maybe never should have bought a boat?
It's all good.... even that messy
bilge beneath the
battery locker....
