 Minn Kota battery charger issue I bought a MK210D charger on my boat. Just plugged it in after going to the lake yesterday afternoon and it's showing that my starting battery (plug 2) is charging but it's showing a connection error with trolling battery (plug 1).
I've checked and double checked but the connection is good. Any ideas on fixing?
Has anyone had this issue with a charger before?

Re: Minn Kota battery charger issue Also I have killed my battery completely and my charger would show this. I had to charge it with another charger then it kicked in and started to charge from my on board mk210D

Re: Minn Kota battery charger issue Now the question is how to check the fuse. Do I just pull the wire or does it twist off?
Please forgive my newbness
Battery is brand new and the wire hasn't been cut at all so I'm thinking fuse issue

Re: Minn Kota battery charger issue If it is not the fuse.. Take your one that is not working and put it on the battery that is just to see if you can make it light up if it will, then it's your battery.. Only reason I say this I had the problem last year with a battery that was only 6 months old.. If the batteries are junk the charging system will not work..

Re: Minn Kota battery charger issue just to be sure... the fuse holder is attached to the main chargin unit behind the cable that goes to the battery.
Wanna make sure i'm pulling on the right thing.

Re: Minn Kota battery charger issue I mounted a mk battery charger too, had to use cutting boards to mount it to then the boards to the boat, charger itself shouldn't be touching the aluminum.
