I'm beginning to believe that my battery charger is not charging. I have solar panels so I have more power than I know what to do with during the day and I live on a mooring so I'm rarely plugged in to shore power. When I am, my outlets work and my water heater works but I wake up in the morning and my batteries are not topped off (at least according to the solar controller). I sometimes hear the cooling fan go on at night.
The unit is inside my chart table so it's hard to get to but when I take off the vent cover I can see that the "ready" and "charging" LED's light up but I don't see the current LED's light up except when they cycle during startup.
I've read that there are fuses inside the unit but I would have to get it out from inside the chart table and disconnected to open it up so before I start ripping out furniture, I'm wondering if there are any other bright ideas out there.
