    Thats normal. Voltage is higher when the charger is plugged in.

    You've got something going on here. My 24 volt Terrova lights are about the same with or without the charger attached. They're really bright. Book says to make sure the TM isn't running or pulling current when you check. Also, have you verified the voltage at the TM terminals with the charger connected and then disconnected? This may tell you plenty. Could be a battery connection or a bad cell or many things.

    Good. Glad you found it. It really hums when it's wide open. I mounted a 50 amp toggle switch on my bow control panel that isolates my battery forward receptacle when not using the motor. Terrova disconnects power when in the stowed position anyway.
