I made my home cord and have had battery 1 hooked up for summerizing. went for the initial start today and had a slow crank and then clicking on my #1 bat. which was brand new last season and had full charge went i put it back in this spring. What can i look for to troubleshoot this charger, where do i start?

P.s., I have the same charger on 2 trolling motor batteries. it never displayed the green LED. Red LED shows bright red when you first plug in the charger, and fades to off as charge comes up.
Also, it uses very cheap in-line fuse holders. They are prone to poor connections. Take out the glass fuses, gently squeeze the fuse holders at both ends and reinstall fuses.

unfortunatley i dont have the manual, but i will ispect all the connections and fuses. The original reason i supected the charger was becuz last 3 years i have never seen either light on , however never had a battery problem , the more recent reason i suspect charger was becuz it was pluged in and the bat was near dead. I will inspect more closley and hit you guys back , i will arm myself with the multimeter and get busy. me and a multimeter are like tits on a bull.

I have checked the output at the batteries with and without the charger plugged in . No difference, I have noticed from the charger i have a red wire that goes to my MBSS and a black wire goes to my neg post on Bat 1. Does this seem correct and why no change when plugged in , Also no lights green or red lit on charger.
