Hopefully someone can offer some help on this odd situation. I have a 24 volt Minn Kota Maxxum 74 trolling motor, a 24 volt system that is hooked up to 6 month old batteries. This morning when charging up after moderate usage on the water, I noticed that one bank of the on-board dual charger went green to a full charge in less than 10 minutes, but the second bank was in its normal charge mode with 4 red lights working down through its charging cycles. The batteries have had light usage since install. This condition may have been occurring in previous charges, I don?t normally check after powering up the charger. This morning, it just happen to catch my eye as I was doing some work around the boat.
The trolling motor is working fine, but my understanding is that when in use, the trolling motor should draw down both batteries at the same time, thus both batteries should need to go through their longer charge cycles. Can anyone offer me some help on this anomaly? Thank you very much for your time and knowledge.
