I have a 3 bank charger and my question is I am having trouble with a draw on my battery. The charger shows that it is pulling a draw when it is hooked up . Is it suspose to do that? I am not much on electronics and I probably have a draw on something as well but I know the charger shows a draw. Any help or advice would be great. I had the alternator rebuilt so I knoe it is not that. Thanks for all the help. It is a Charge Pro 15 Amp 3 stage model 2617.
Do you mean one of the banks isn't going green? Which battery is it, a TM battery or the cranking battery?
If it's the cranking battery, you'll typically have some current going to the outboard all the time, and if you have a GPS puck that's not on a switch, they can draw power all the time.
The easiest thing to test is to swap the charger leads between two batteries and see if the problem stays with the same battery or the same charger bank.
Unfortunately, the most likely reason for what you are seeing is a bad battery. The charger stays on because the battery never gets fully charged.
thank, I think I do have a bad battery.
