I’ve just purchased a used boat with a Motorguide 3 bank on board charger, and am puzzled by how it functions. First bank is connected to my starting battery, which never requires further charging. Other two are hooked to my trolling motor batteries rigged for 24V system. When I plug it in to charge, or hit the test button to check battery charge,only bank one and two lights come on, bank 3 shows no activity. Is this happening because it is a 24V set up? Is only one bank charging both batteries, or is something wrong with the unit? I disconnected the batteries and hooked my old deep cycle charger to each one seperately, and both showed a full charge, so somehow the 3rd battery is getting charged. Is this normal?
