Good morning all,
I haven't been to my boat in a couple weeks and just went by the marina yesterday and noticed that the switch to the remote panel for my TruePower 2500 QS charger/inverter was tripped. I'm thinking when the hull cleaners came by to clean the hull, they turned the breaker off to the shore power and my batteries ran down. I flipped the switch back on and I started to hear a ticking noise coming from my ProNautic 1250 C3 battery charger that is continuing even after the batteries are charged.
This morning I turned off the shore power, turned the battery selector switch to off, and tested all of my batteries. All 7 are showing between 12.47 to 12.53 volts. So I think the batteries are OK. But I'm not sure why the charger is making the clicking noise. I've noticed that the inverter/charger has an LED illuminated indicating that it is charging even though the batteries should be fully charged. Also, the 1250 charger has an LED illuminated indicating the batteries are 'high temp'.
I'm not really sure what's going on, if anyone has any pointers I would love to hear them.
Thanks TFers,
Doug
