    Triton 3 bank Charger not charging one bank....

    I have a 2008 19X2 with a Triton 3 bank charger. One bank is not charging.... it shows red lights across at all times. I let the charging process finish on the other 2 batteries and then switched the leads. The lead that was not working still continued to show red lights all the way across even when on a the charged battery and the leads from the charged battery now charged the battery that was on the bad bank.

    What can I do to try to fix.... Ideas?

    If it's not something simple like the fuse.....I'd chunk it and buy a new one. I've had good luck fixing chargers......

    I probably have (had) the same charger in my boat for 13 years and this spring it did the same thing as yours. I fiddled without success then sprung for the new Minn Kota 345PC precision charger that is available for a $50 rebate. It puts out 15 amps/battery and can be set for whatever type batteries you run. In my case an AGM for starting, etc., and 2 flooded for the trolling motor. This thing charges in almost half the time as my old charger and with warranty, etc., I have no more anxiety about my batteries.

    Thanks for the help... the fuses on each lead were shrink wrapped but I will cut it out and see..... I had a minkota on my last Triton and it was awsome as well... just traded in for a newer one.... Thanks again for the replies, nice to have others with experience chime in!

    I had a Dual Pro charger in my Triton bass boat and one bank quit working. I took it out, disconnected the one cable not working and now use it on a pontoon boat as a single charger. Works great! Also, I replaced the Dual Pro with a 3 bank MK and love it.
