    Default New Battery


    Bought two new batteries for my 24 v terrova a month ago. Used em 4 or 5 times. Ran the crap out of em on Grenada and can't get my onboard charger to recognize one battery is hooked up. Took out of boat and back to shop I bought it from. He put on charger from 9:30 til 1:30 and I took home and hooked back to on board charger. Looked this morning to find a still solid yellow light on the charger. Switched to another bank on the problem battery to see if it may be the charger, but still only getting solid yellow light. Shop told me battery was fine, I doubt that considering the trouble I'm having. Am I wrong wanting them to replace the battery since it has a 2 yr warranty and will not charge for me?

    When/if you reverse the charger to the same two batteries does the light show yellow on the other lead ?

    Did they load test the battery. About the only way to really check one.

    Don't think so, not uncommon for a new one to act up pretty quick
