found both gel cell batteries discharged...no sign of life from the
charger...looks like time to replace...any suggestions besides
disconnecting AC when i put a new one in?


Never mind! we got here late, machine space was dark...didn't notice
AC power to charger had been disconnected....


Don't that hack you off???

you bet. even went and bought another battery charger at wal
mart...but that's going back! at least i didnt buy another marine
charger

That's the way to support the American dream and unions you keep
carping about... buy a chinese battery charger at walmart. WTG, bob.


Hopefully his built in charger can be set up to charge Gel batteries. They are kind of finicky.

He can't even tell when it's unplugged. How would he know if it was
compatible with Gel cells? Mine has a setting for Gel/AGM.
