Thread: Hopping mad at Anchor Express

Toolman,
If this was going on before you changed batteries, it may be the grounding in cables.Try cleaning them while you checking it out.

Well, this is what you get for juming up and doing something without checking with me, the authoritay, first. Don't worry though, lots of folks have made this mistake. Once.

Anyway...If I understood what you were saying, I'm betting you have 1 bad battery somewhere in the chain. Put a meter on them all and check the standing voltage when they are "fully charged". Although you didn't mention what indication you got for each battery in the chain from the old charger. Normally, if what I'm saying is correct, you'll get 2 fully charged indicators and the third will just never cut off, which can be dangerous BTW.

But, if voltage doesn't indicate the suspect battery, you'll need to move on to check connections, grounds, water in the battery and it'd be a good idea to check your wiring as well....if I understood, you've moved from 24V to 36V. You sure you got it all hooked up right? Again, a meter will tell ya.

If you paid by Credit Card, cancel the order and call the card company. Dispute the charge if necessary. If you paid by check, see if your check cleared yet. If not, you know the routine.

I order all my stuff thru my Team National web site, get free delivery in two days, no sales tax, and occasionally a sale price that is UPCOMING, but not yet published.

Make sure your power cord is heavy enough, check each battery out individually, and clean every connection ONE MORE time. Try charging each battery individually if the 'battery test' proves nothing wrong. Still could be!!

Thanks for the suggestions tellers. I'm going to test everything out when I put the charger in. That way I can make one trip into the back of the boat.

Just looked up Team National and it is a pyramid sales company. Got to join to save. $400 - $2000. Not many good things said about TN.

Is that kind of like staying at a Holiday Inn Express?
