Hi guys, need some newbie advice!
Sea Ray 320 2007
I stupidly left both my battery isolators + some light switches on overnight. I came over today and the 12V battery in the control panel shows dead.
However I did leave shore power + AC converter (battery charger) on the same night. Should the charger have worked while the battery iso was on?
I tried starting the engines. Stbd one turned on. Port one didn't. Then tried the bridge button and turn on the Port on, but no luck.
After a bit even the Stbd one didn't want to turn on anymore.
Now, I've the shore power on, battery iso off, and battery charger on. I came back after an hour and still 12V was dead. Now I've left it like that for the night and will check on it tomorrow.
So my question is, after a full night of charging, should I expect it to work tomorrow? Or should I book a electrician ASAP? Unfortunately the hatch lift seems to run on 12V and doesn't work at the moment, so getting access to jump them might not be so easy?
Thanks everyone! Definitely learnt my lesson to follow my own checklist next time and turn the iso off when I leave the boat!
