[C320-list] Charging batteries with a Honda Generator

[Bruce]

Tim,
The Link10 should let you see what the current flow is into the batteries when charging.  If it is not close to the rating of your charger then their is a blown fuse, bad connection or defective charger.

Subject: [C320-list] Charging batteries with a Honda Generator

Hi All, We have been cruising for about a week now, both batteries are about 3 yrs old and were fully charged according to my link 2000. Been very good about power usage but over the course of a week one battery was down to 63% 
and the other to 72%. Decided time to hook up the Honda 1000 for a 
bit....well after about 11 hours it added 10% to the lower of the 2 batteries and 
only 4% to the other. My question is...is this normal or do I possibly 
have a bad battey charger. If the latter, suggestions on a replacement? I believe this is the original charger (may have been replaced by 
original owner) but it is atleast years old and survived a lightning 
strike...or maybe not.

Thanks

Tim
