Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) And no it was not the Battery. It was the battery Charger. Went back to CT and got a new one of the same model and it was the same crap. Wouldn't charge. Went back to CT and got the Nautilus and it not only charges faster, but works like a charm. So if you guys wanna buy chargers? Dont be cheap. Invest in a good one! $100+ It says keep out of the rain, so I guess its not an onboard charger?Or does an on board charger also have to be hidden from the elements? I thought they were water proof, or is this just reffering to when it is charging? Edited June 10, 2008 by Johnny Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwl Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 good to hear ya got it worked out..i have a nautalis charger too...works great, batteriews also nautalis..starting/cranking battery still great, deepcycle still charges good, both batteries 5 years old and going strong...the charger is a good charger, set it on auto and charge it up in the garage...I do this every time I pretty much drain my battery on the Minkotta when the testbutton says recharge.

Victor Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 What charger did you have before Johnny Bass? I just bought the motomaster that was on sale for $69.99 at CTC on Sunday ... i think there are problems with my battery itself so i don't know if there's any issues with the charger ... Now that I think of it, maybe I should just buy the onboard charger at Basspro for $99.99 ... it can charge both my cranking and deep cycle at the same time ...

misfish Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Johhny,it would say if it was an onboard. Most of the on boards that I have seen are water proof. Glad to hear all worked out for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the Eliminator or something like that. Bring it back and get the Nautilus or the onboard charger at BPS. They also charge the battery a lot quicker. Save you time and money. I guess its not an onboard charger then Brian. But its got water on the package and with the words Nautilus, you'd think its water proof! Oh well. But its got a 5 year warranty!!!

Garry2Rs Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 "Nautilus" was the name of Capt. Nemo's submarine in the Julies Verne science fiction classic 20,00 Leagues Under the Sea. Do you suppose that this charger is also a submarine?. It has the same name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry2Rs Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 This is also the name chosen by the US Navy for the first atomic powered submarine...If it glows in the dark, cover you balls when you use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Found this John Question Water proof? Is this unit water proof? asked 9 months ago by wrapper - Quebec on Motomaster Nautilus Intelligent Battery Charger1 answerAnswers answer 1 No, this unit is not water proof. I figured that much, with the big holes in the side and the wires exposed. Why they have water on the package as if it is a marine type charger, I don't know. But an onboard battery charger is. Correct? Either way, for now I am pleased with my purchase and the amount of time it took to charge the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lundboy Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 (edited) You got the good charger... it's actually made by Schumacher, one of the best charger makers going.... http://store.schumachermart.com/battery-chargers-marine.html It is a marine type charger, in that it is a deep cycle charger and also has AGM settings. It's classified as a portable charger. An on-board will have mounting holes on the case, and will be fully waterproof. The Nautilus is not waterproof or even water resistant.... so keep it dry.

Billy Bob Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 May I recommend a very good on-board charger that is waterproff and has performed without a problem. Now I have had this charger for about 5 or 6 years. READ the info on it and remember Cabela's name is on it so they will stand behind it. Here it is http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...600056&rid= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Bass Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks guys! Bob, when this one breaks down I will definately buy an onboard charger and consider Cabela's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 The nautilus case is made of plastic. If the charger shorts, you don't have to worry about getting electrocuted when you touch your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
