I went to the boat today and noticed the GFCI tripped and making a clicking sound. I isolated it to the Charger. If I open the charger pop fuse/breaker the A/C outlets work fine.
When I run a few things to lower the batteries the charger fan comes on but I get no lights (at all) on the charger. I checked the voltage without the charger on and also with it on. It appears to be charging fine at about +/-14 volts.
I just can't run the charger at the same time as the A/C outlets or the GF Breakers trip. Both work fine alone.
I called OEM and they said to disconnect both Batteries and Shore power for at least 2 hours or overnight. They reconnect and try it.
Anybody else had this issue?
Worst case I have to start trying to isolate the ground fault. Could take a while but points to charger.
FWIW: Charger not repairable.
Thanks,
