    MinnKota Battery Chargers/Light readout

    There has been discussion in the past about the "light codes" on MinnKota battery chargers. Hope this helps.

    MK110, MK210, MK315, MK220, and MK330
    A GREEN power light is lit to indicate AC power is applied.
    A YELLOW light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is charging.
    A GREEN light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is fully charged and in maintenance mode.
    A RED light for each bank is lit if any of the following apply:
    A) No battery is connected to an output lead. This may also indicate a blown fuse in the fuse holder.
    B) The battery voltage is below 8.0 volts.
    C) The battery is connected reverse polarity.
    RED and GREEN lights are lit simultaneously for each bank if any of the following apply:
    A) The battery voltage is below 8.0 volts.
    B) A damaged temperature sensor on the output lead. The bank will not operate if this occurs.
    MK230, MK345, MK460, MK440

    On the "D" chargers:
    Plugging in all lights come on monetarily while "reading" the batteries
    Yellow: Bulk charge mode til battery reaches 75% of charge
    Flashing Yellow: Absorption Mode, charging current tapers holding battery to 14.4V apx
    Flashing Green : Maintenance mode, voltage goes to 13.4V
    Green: Charger turns itself off after 24hrs and monitors battery
    When battery voltage drops below 12.6V, charger will turn back on
