    How long did y'alls stock onboard battery charger last?

    My 2011 Z7 charger just stopped working. Guess its gone out. Any suggestions to fix or trouble shoot or should I just go ahead and buy me a new charger? Thanks for any replies!

    I have had a dual pro go out within 3 years, just make sure fuses are still good before trashing it. Talk to Dual pro or whoever they may give you a rebuilt charger for cheaper then new.

    This guest charger was the one that came with the boat when I bought new back in 2011. Worked like a champ since then but just stopped working all the sudden.

    Lake Erie and waves took my chargers out a couple times a season. I had the Genesis brand? I don't know why they failed. I would remove it box it up and send it out and a new one would show up.

    In most cases they are putting good chargers in these things.

    Installed a XPS charger in 2005 and it was still going good when I sold the boat last month. The one that came with the boat lasted 3 years, forgot the brand.

    A few years ago in my 929 I assumed the charger went bad. Bought a new one installed it and still nothing..all my batteries went bad at the same time.
