Re: [Electric Boats] battery issue

 

If the jumper between #4 and#3 is getting warm while the others are cool I think( for sure) that you have a bad connection to your  battery or the connector lug on the ends of the #4 to#3 jumper.

My PakTrakr warned of a failing battery, battery #2. Under load of 40-50 amps #2 was running in the low 11 volts. I cleaned up the contacts (and found a loose connection between #2 and #3!!)and the alert went away. Then I ran the motor at 30 or so amps for five minutes and got an Alert on the #4 battery. The reading under load was again in the low 11 volts but on the #4 battery. The #2 battery is now right with the other batteries, in the upper 12 volt range. The jumper wire from #4 to #3 is getting warm while all the other jumpers are cool.

I'm preparing for a bad battery but curious about the migration of PakTrakr Alert.

Any thoughts?
