:smt100 OK here is the situation.
I've got 1987 S.R. Sundancer 268 with a built in charger that came with the boat. I know the charger is a 20 amp and has a 3 bank capability. I'm using 2 of those 3 banks.
On the first bank I've got 1 battery, second bank is the same, 1 battery.
I've got a battery selector switch, which in set on ALL.
This is what happened.......
The motor was having a tough time cranking, as if batts were dead/dying. So I, in my infinite wisdom, put the circuit breaker switch for the convertor to ON and tried to crank again. Same situation, very little.
Now, prior to doing this cranking, the battery charger was reading 5 when it was active. After cranking, the battery charger did not read anything. I took out the batteries and put them on a regular charger. It took overnight for them to reach a "Low" state. So I suppose that the batts are now charged.
What the hell did I do???????????:smt013
Are my batts shot????????:smt089:smt013
Is my convertor dead?????:wow::smt013:smt089
