Battery Charger

Post by shub2191 »

I have run into another gremlin to work out on Osprey...There is a ProNautic 1240 battery charger that had been working fine until last weekend. We had just run the boat to Annapolis to get the engine work completed and set her up in the slip. After I pluged in shore power and turned on the charger I heard a clicking sound under the starboard fish box in the cockpit. When I opened up the sound came from the charger....There were 3 fault lights on
  • Over VOLTAGE
    Charger Over Temp
    Battery Over Temp
So now I'm scratching my head on what to do next......any ideas?

I don't have that charger - but here are some ideas...
They could be odd warnings - and simply reset the unit by shutting it down and letting it "reboot"?
The temps - you could check the area with an infrared temp unit to see if they are valid in anyway.
The overcharge is usually due to some other item sending high volts to the bank - like alternator or solar panel - etc - you can check tier output with a multi meter to see if it is valid as well?
Last ditch - call Pro-Nautic Customer service - may be a fault in the charger operation?
