    If the batteries are not connected in parallel check the voltage at each battery with the charger unpluged. Now plug the charger in and recheck. If its working OK you will see an increase in voltage at both batteries. If they are connected in parallel, disconnect one lead and check one at a time.

    I had that same problem with my minnkota several rears ago. I had to get another one. I bought the cheapest BPS had and have had no problems for 4 years now.

    Check the inline fuses also.
