Once a year clean out the battery box check for signs of leaks and corrosion check the vent is clear and inspect the tie-downs. Either you have a bad solenoid yes I know you just replaced it stuff happens or it is not grounded to the block.
In this case I removed one end of each of the positive cables that interconnect the batteries.
Boat battery charged but no power. Went to start my R160 and I have no power at all. No lights radio and engine doesnt turn over. Battery is fully charged.
I pulled the battery and had it checked and its in great shape. I checked the inline fuses. The battery kill switch is on.
Batteries fully charged yet no volts and no power The switch has no fuse or breaker inside it. Those will be at the positive post of each battery. You need to use a hand held voltmeter to follow the voltage from the battery to the switch BAT 1 and BAT 2 terminals.
Then the COM terminal with the switch on BAT 1 then on BAT 2 and then on BOTH. MY boat has no power to guages or ignitionBatteries good red breaker will not push inswitch to change from 1to2 batteries cleanhelp. 1 hour later turn the key and no power at dash.
Check battery cable connections for corrosion checked kill switch that was just replaced last year wiggled canon plug I think it was the canon plug. Boat has dual battery setup and did have a loose wire on the back of the perko switch that I tightened last weekend. Boat Wont Turn Over No Click Battery fully problem The solenoid is the lowest tech piece on the motor.
It sounds like you have power to it but nothing happens. Either you have a bad solenoid yes I know you just replaced it stuff happens or it is not grounded to the block. Check for a really good ground where it mounts.
Start at the cranking battery to see what voltage it has for output. Red to the and Black to -. The voltage should be around 124-8 if the battery is good.
BUT before you go much further connect the voltmeter directly to the battery posts and see just how far the reading falls when you try to operate the starter. If it falls below about 95 then get the battery charged and tested. TIP clean battery posts etc with a nylon Scotchbrite type of pot scourer.
It removes the crud without taking off metal. 1 - connect multimeter to battery. 2 - observe voltage when cranking.
Unless your battery is absolutely dead it will pretty much always show around the 11-12V mark when sitting idle ignition etc off so its not an indication of battery charge. Parked the 2001 F150 Supercrew 54 in the driveway last night and today it wont do anything at all. No electrical power even with a new battery that I bought because of the problem.
I checked the new battery and it has a strong spark but. One is keeping it topped off with your battery tender which is good and the other is how it is first put into service. It must be charged properly prior to putting using it.
Vibration is also a battery killer and motorcycles generate a lot of that. Also the stock battery is barely enough to get by with so any drop off in performance is noticable. In this case I removed one end of each of the positive cables that interconnect the batteries.
If you dont have continuity you dont have a ground for the electronics. These are known to grow corrosion in the connector see pic. If you want to do a quick test make a new ground wire up and go direct from the battery to the bottom of the coil and try it.
All of those grounds on the bottom of the coil have to have a ground to the battery. If your battery is reading 0 volts chances are the battery experienced a short circuit. If the battery cannot reach higher than 105 volts when being charged then the battery has a dead cell.
If the battery is fully charged according to the battery charger but the voltage is 125 or less the battery is sulfated. If you plug in the charger flashing light comes on indicating fully charged. Trolling motor and power fine fully charged.
The 2 main breakers in both rear side compartments are not tripped. Manual voltage test has all 3 batters at 125 -126Yet. No horn no trim no radio no.
My boat batteries are not charging either from the motor or the shore power hook up. I have one new battery and one year old battery hooked up in parallel. The new battery started the boat when we launched and I drove over to the dock were I keep it.
I then switched to the 1 battery and there was a beep and the motor quit. Lipo 2s good voltage but no current. I hav a small Lipo Battery 2s 450 mAh with a good voltage around 81 fully charged but when I connect the motor and try to get full power the motor stops suddenly before i get a minimum power.
The same motor and esc work perfectly with other batteries. It seems the battery cant give current. Make sure the battery is always charged off of a battery charger before each use of the boat to maintain optimum performance and life of the battery stator and regulator.
If multiple accessories are used a 2nd battery NOT connected to the starting battery is recommended. If desired a make-before-break switch can be used between the two batteries. Make sure to also charge this battery off.
Appears to be no power to the motor. Checked the battery connections all are tight. Is there a fuse or circuit breaker near the trolling motor or somewhere else.
Thoughts on where I should be looking. Greg if your boat still has the original grey 50amp breakers in it I would suggest upgrading to the 60amp breaker. The traditional method of charging your boat battery using a charger is the most highly recommended way.
It helps to extend the life of your battery and make it more reliable. Marine battery chargers are between 10 and 15 amps. In order to get a quick charge a charger that delivers more amps is required.
If you plan on storing your boat for a few weeks disconnect the battery and make sure it has a full charge. That will allow them to sit safely for several weeks without draining. In addition to making sure the battery has a full charge if you use a wet-cell battery you should pop the cap on the top of the battery case and top the level with distilled water.
How To Charge A Boat Battery On The Water. Charging a boat battery in the water can be done. But by really only three main ways.
That is to use your engine to charge the battery. Having your battery switch on the combined or both batteries will help to charge the battery. Letting the engine run at a higher idle will produce the most amount of.
Once a year clean out the battery box check for signs of leaks and corrosion check the vent is clear and inspect the tie-downs. 4 Place the battery in the wrong spot. Marine batteries differ to car batteries in that they are meant to operate in an.
The boat might also have power posts that connect the batteries from somewhere in the front or middle of the boat. To the engine via the posts on the transom. First make sure the battery switch and the related power posts are clean and not loose.
There should also be no. Lithium Ion batteries have a level power curve which means that you have full power until the battery is dead so little warning time before you have no power. But they can take many deep discharges and can be charged up to 90-94 of their capacity in a third the time of a lead acid battery.
