BIL has a vacation home on lake Esutas in Florida.
He calls today and says neighbor's trolling battery has reversed polarity and is only putting out 9v. Yes, the positive is negative and the negative terminal is positive.
There are 2 12v marine batteries in series to power the 24 v trolling motor. There are 2 12v chargers hard wired to change the 2 batteries. Has worked this way for years. So he asks how can this happen? I told I don't have a clue.
Later I called him back with a theory, but told him it like asking a DR over the phone for a medical opinion. He needs to send me round trip tickets so I can see first hand what's wrong. And the fishing better be better than it was when I was there before Christmas.
So, what's your theory as to what happened?
His neighbor is went to town to get a new battery so there are no testing the battery.
