    Likely input Voltage and frequency. US power for small appliances is normally 120V, 60Hz.

    I have a Minn Kota 3 bank on board charging system ( MK315D )its about 2 years old and all my batterys are the same age, I've had 0 problems until last week I went flounder gigging and my 80# riptide Minn kota only lasted about 4 Hours ( which has always lasted me all night long ) and then went again Saturday night and the same thing happen 4 hours , I checked all connections everything's good and the charger shows it charging the it shows the battery's are on full charge, I wonder if the battery's water level has gotten low, has anyone else had something simpler happen thanks guys

    The most likely issue is that your batteries are worn out. Every time you use them, they lose a little capacity, and the harder you use them the more capacity they lose. Next time you fish, take a voltmeter and measure each battery just after you start fishing. You want those numbers to be very close to each other. Next measure the batteries when you notice power loss. If the readings are close to each other, it's probably time for new batteries. If there is more than a tenth of a volt or so difference, you have one weak battery, but at 2 years it's probably best to replace them both.

    I came home this weekend to find a “check connection” light on the bank 3 of my Minn Kota 330D 3-Bank Charger. I removed and cleaned all of the terminals and I have now been getting a solid yellow light ("bulk charge") on bank 3 for about 36 hours. The battery is warm (not hot, 84 degrees based on the test). The other two banks are indicating fully charged. I switched the banks to different batteries and the solid yellow light followed the battery. I left it on the charger again overnight and it was still on solid yellow this morning. I took it to Interstate this morning and it had 12.68V with 1154 CCA. The battery is a 3-yr old Optima Blue Top AGM D27M.

    Is the battery just taking a long time to charge or is just done in a way not picked up by the tester? I would think at 12.68V it would switch over to a yellow flashing light "absorption" mode.

    Any thoughts or suggestions?

    12.68V is probably too low for a fully charged Optima blue top battery. Everything but the 34 is supposed to measure over 13V at full charge.

    So you think its done or it needs to be on the charger longer?

    Either is possible. I’d bet it’s toast, but leaving it to charge a couple of days is free.

    Thanks, so long as you don't think it risks any harm.

    I have MK315D. Was preparing for trip last week when I unhooked all lights were green or blinking which is normal for the 10 years I’ve owned it. Got on water very little power for 36V system maybe 1/3 . Got back to house went to check all connection and wrench touched side of rear well heard pop and saw a little smoke . One indicator went red. I found 2 blown fuses one I could change without sparking and another that keep sparking and blowing when I try to change out. Checked all connections replaced 3 that looked suspect but weren’t . Still can’t change fuse still showing red. All batteries are good. Did i fry the charger ? TIA

    I have the MK460PC 4 bank charger and battery 1 was not charging. Load tested and it was bad so I bought a new one today and put it in. After 2 hours it was still only reading 25%. So I pushed the battery selection button and all lights go out on bank 1. No power button, no red error button, nothing all lights are gone. Banks 2-4 have all lights and all batteries fully charged. Checked fuses for battery 1 and they are fine. Has anyone had this happen to them or has anyone ever heard of this issue? I have tried holding that button in to reset but nothing happens. I even unplugged it and left it unplugged for and hour to see if it would reset itself and nothing.....

    Did you try unhooking the leads from the battery and plugging the charger back in? You will get some error indication with it unhooked. If it is still dead it sounds bad.

    Minn Kota 460D- Over 6 yrs old. Boat has been sitting for over a year. I have had the charger plugged in the whole time. One 4 yr old battery went bad during this time. A few of the cells were dry when I removed it. One of the in line fuses was also blown. The bank of the charger at this battery showed Red-check connection. When I replaced the battery and hooked up the charger it would keep blowing the in line fuses. I swapped battery leads and the same bank would still blow the inline fuse. I assume that this bank of the charger is bad or ruined. Can these be repaired? If not I will probably just keep it and charge the three TM batteries with it and hook up a single charger to the cranking battery.
    Thank You.

    What was the same. Same battery or same leads? The only flashing yellow in the manual signify's the charger is in absorption mode. You will have to call minn kota to see what that means. Not in the manual I could find. The lights are described on page 16 in the manual.
