As some of you may know or emember, over last winter I repaired the lights on my Precision 18 i bought summer 2010. I bouhgt a new trickle charge/maintainer and a new riding mower 12v battery at Sears. Over the course of this summer, probably 3 times on a Sunday morning i would hook up the charger while i was fooling around with reapirs, cleaning etc. prior to mid day launch after the Admiral and various grandkids arrive after church. Every time, the indicator lights on the charger would go from flashing yellow (charging) to green (charged) in less than 2 hours. Not much use on the batteries, occaisional nightsaling back to the marina after dinner out.
Now, last trip out, bring boat home was end of October. Since then , the battery has been on the wooden workbench in the basement until about 10 days ago when I was able to clean up the workbench. Th workbench had been our kitchen since mid September while we completed our "It should take about a month" kitchen remodel ,( this is a whole `nother Dscribner style story). I plugged the battery in 10 days ago, It has been flashing "charging " ever since. Is this an unreasonable time to charge?, or is charger bad? No way battery could be bad after sitting in warm basement 2 Months! Discuss. Thanks, Dave
