Battery charger question

[sundown]

Went out this morning to charge batteries on my boat..hoping to get to St Marks in morning.
After I had plugged the onboard charger up, I looked to see if it was charging. The green power light was on and charger was making a clicking noise. Usually the red charging light comes on and stays on till the batteries are charged. This is a 24 volt system and charger is new.. (5 months). Anybody else experienced anything like this ? aany help greatly appreciated as my boat shop is closed this week !

1. Maybe they are fully charged.
2. Maybe the motor switch is on .

i had the same thing with mine but it was a 12 volt 3 bank and i found out the battery was bad had a dead cell..
now that was mine..

Is it possible that they are fully charged and the charger is just cycling through, waiting for them to require charging? You should be able to put a drain on them to check that "run the trolling motor for a short time", but be carefull not to over-heat the trolling motor "no water to cool it down"

I cleaned all the connections and drained the batteries real good last Sat. Same problem. Took it to Flint River Marine this morning and Davis just changed it out. guess a bad charger.. Great boat dealer though, he looks after his customers !

Gald to hear it's corrected Sundown. Davis is a class act!
