I have a 2009 Pantera Classic, 1 month old … and I love it. However, tonight when I went to unplug the onboard charger, there wasnt any lights on on the charger (Normally it has a blue light and a green light when it is fully charged and a blue and red light while charging). Also the charger was very hot and my batteries sounded like they were boiling. So I assume the charger has burned out. It has a 2 yr warranty so I know it is covered. Im wondering if the dealer will take care of this or if I have to take it out and replace it myself. Also since the batteries were making a boiling sound, were they damaged. I definately dont want damaged batteries on a brand new rig. I will contact my dealer tomorrow, but thought I would see if anyone had any input. It is a Pro Mariner Pro Sport charger.

Well I am just an idiot at best but I believe the boiling sound aint such a bad thing and I wonder if its just an LED issue. Regardless Im sure your dealer will be happy to remove and replace. Batteries are easily checked for output as well. Itll be just fine. If theres a wait on the reorder then Id just fish it and recharge with what you got til you get a new one. I imagine if the charger was totally smoked youd get no output at all.C.O.D. Jr. III

Take a look at all your connections to the batteries. I had a similar issue with my 3 bank charger. ie no lights when plugged in. I took the leads off each battery and tested them one batery at a time. I needed to do a little cleaning, but it seemed like I had one connection that wasnt as snug as I would like. After finding that I had power output from the charger at all three banks and good connections to all three batteries, I plugged the unit back in and my lights re-appeared. I have no waranty left, but I doubt you want to go thru the hassle of getting it replaced etc if just making sure your connections are tight will fix things.

It will warranty through your dealer, or direct by the charger company or BCB at your discretion. We are not sure if it is charging, though it could be overcharging. The heat leads us to think maybe? Though it could also just be an LED out as has been suggested. Boiling is usually not a bad sound, as long as you dont over cook them and keep them well watered. BCB
