Battery Charging question.

[Dee F]

Replaces my 3 trolling batteries in May of 2018. Bought a new minnkota charger... everything been working as should.

Yesterday I replaced my cranking battery just because of its age and didn’t want to chance being off somewhere and it quit on me.

I have a minnkota charger.. when I went to unplug the charger to start replacing crank battery all batteries were on green light/ maintenance mode.
Unplugged, unhooked cables from crank battery,swapped out batteries, hooked everything back up and plugged charger back up.

This morning I look to make sure everything is back on green lights and now I have bank 2, which is one of my trolling batteries that never got off the 25% light??? Keep in mind all were on green and I didn’t even touch none of them. All I did was swap a crank battery...
not throwing a blinking code... just still on 25% charged.

Anybody got any ideas on what
Could be the issue with this??

that’s just weird. Sounds like something that might happen to me.

Check all connections maybe that simple. Sometime it only takes a little wiggle.

Are you sure #2 is not going to your new cranking battery. Depending on how long the new battery has been setting will make a difference on how quick it will
charge back up to full charge.

I 100% certain that banks 1,2,&3 go to trolling batteries and 4 goes to crank

Put the #2 bank on a different battery and see if it does same thing if it does I’d say u got a bank going bad. I also would check to make sure that #2 bank doesn’t have any corrosion on it check the wire to see if they are broke where it goes on battery

Less than a year old.. just replaced one that was about 3 months out of warranty that minnkota said they don’t repair them they’re a “sealed” unit.

I swapped banks. It’s definitely the #2 bank.
Bad thing is I’m leaving Monday headed to Guntersville.... there’s no way o can ship it to them and them have me one back before then.
I emailed minnkota and I’ll call them tomorrow.
