My 2002 518VX came with a pro charger 3 bank. It had been a rock for 21 years. After my last fishing trip the third bank had all 5 lights on solid. I thought it was a bad battery. I decided to move banks 2 and 3 and see if the issue followed. Well it did. The 3rd bank has 5 solid lights on no matter if it has a charged battery or a spent battery. Is this charger shot or is there anything I can do?
Did you check the fuse on that bank?
I did notQuote:

I bought a brand new "Pro Charger" that came with my 188VX new (3 Bank) and damn they are expensive. , only to go to Lithium last month so I had to get a new charger. I got a Minn Kota multi charger and I guess Ill be selling my Dual Pro maybe...

John,
My Dual Pro did not have a fuse either, sealed unit unless you know how to get to it... I'm curious....

Hmm. The last Dual Pro I had (2014) had inline fuses for each bank, right in the battery leads. I’ve had MK chargers since then, because they work better with my lithiums. Sorry if I misled the OP.
Call dual pro if you want one like it. They are great for repairing a bank or deeply discounting a replacement when it’s not repairable.
No John, you are correct the fuses are on the wires themselves, I thought you meant the Dual Pro itself....Quote:

I have a 2021 Ranger with the 3 bank Dual Pro and you just pull the yellow caps on the leads apart and the fuse is right there.
Bit the bullet and got a 3-10 NOCO
