    When plugged in the charging lights are blinking, is this right? I thought that they should glow solid? Brand new charger this year in new boat and manual is at home. Thanks in advance.

    Took this from a site as I had a similar question when I upgraded my on board charger this year.

    1. A GREEN power light is lit to indicate AC power is applied
    2. A YELLOW light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is charging in the Bulk Mode
    3. A flashing YELLOW light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is charging in the Absorption Mode
    4. A flashing GREEN light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is in maintenance mode and ready to use
    5. A GREEN light is lit for each bank to indicate the battery is in long term maintenance mode and ready to use
    6. A RED light for each bank is lit if any of the following apply:
    a) No battery is connected to an output cord – this may also indicate a blown fuse in the fuse holder
    b) The battery is connected reverse polarity
    c) A short circuit
    d) The battery voltage is below 4 volts – the bank will not charge a battery in this condition
    e) The battery voltage is above 18 volts – the bank will not charge a battery in this condition
    7. A flashing RED light is lit for each bank if there is a damaged temperature sensor on the output cord – the bank will not operate if this occurs.
    8. Flashing RED and GREEN lights are lit for each bank if any of the following apply:
    a) The battery voltage does not rise above 10.5V after 3 hours – the battery may be damaged and will not be charged
    b) Charging in Bulk Mode exceeds 20 hours – the battery may be damaged and will not be charged
