I went to the boat Saturday and had no voltage on either battery, DVM showed 0.0 volts. They were probably like that for a while (1 week maybe). What are the odds that they are now junk? I just bought them last year.
They are standard 8D, wet cells.
I checked the fluid levels and put a charger on them. I guess I'll see if they hold a charge.
Luckily I still had the old ones that I took out last year, so I was able to put them back in, so we could go out this weekend. I stuck battery chargers on them so we could use the lights and such while anchored.
I removed the broken charger, haven't opened it up yet, but I see charred PCB inside. It is a Progressive Dynamics PD2050.
