After 5 months of the power being off on my dock due to flooding it was finally restored yesterday. I guess that's where the good news ends.
My boat is 75 miles away and I can't break free at the moment to check it out. My good friend and dock neighbor has been trying to get my boat started and get the batteries charged but is having no luck. The port engine clicks, the starboard and genny do nothing. Also, none of the 12v fixtures in the cabin are working. This is after the shore-power charger has been charging for 24 hours.
My neighbor's a pretty savvy guy and I can't think he's just messing things up. He's checked my battery switches both at the panel and in the bilge. He thinks my batteries are fried because they were discharged for so long and AGM batteries don't like that. I have 7 batteries (each cost $400) and I just can't imagine that ALL of them would die.
Other than doing a simple voltage read is there a way to test each one? Any other thoughts?
