    I have a Cabelas 2 bank on board charger…and when I looked at it today after being on for several days…I noticed the lights on the charger (power and ready) flicker on and off along with a clicking noise. It appears my trolling motor battery is at full charge. Does anyone know if there is something wrong or is this normal operation for a charger? Thanks.

    Mine was doing some thing similar, and I ended up checking the leads and one broke right off in my hand with light pressure, so it’s possible you have a flakey connection.

    Maybe it just went bad. I replaced all the fuses…and the connectors look fine. It just clicks…the lights may or may not come on.

    Hey Nick…you were spot on. I thought all my connections were good and finally checked one more time and one felt a bit “weak”. I changed that out this morning and what do you know…it seems to be working fine. Thanks a ton for your input!
