Josh:
Thanks.....I looked up the charger on Google and found a manual, not a
good one, but one that said may be it could be one of two fuses on the
inside of the charger....to take the cover off and check the fuses.
It also said the charger won't work if one or both of the batteries are
bad....both batteries are showing 12.5V. It also said to remove the DC
negative on the battery, reapply the AC and see if the green light comes on.
Will try these things tomorrow.....if no luck, there will be a new
charger. Will update.

If I had to guess the fuse is on the output or DC side of the
charger. You might try taking it apart carefully to see if there is a
fuse on the inside. Of course you need to make sure that your power
coming in is good and connections tight. Likewise for the output.
Also make sure that the battery is good. Some chargers detect a bad
battery and then turn off.
For new options, I have not been dissatisfied in the slightest with my
ProMariner pronautic 1260. 12v 60Amps.
http://www.promariner.com/en/63160 This is probably more amps than you
need but they make lower power models.

I replaced a 40amp zantrex trucharge with a 60amp and both died nearly
right out of the box. I've since had no trouble with the ProMariner
for over 5 years.

My old Guest Pro Battery Charger Model 2815 seems to have hit the
dust....it was working yesterday but today it was not....no charge
going
to batteries and no lights on on the charger....'red' when it is
charging 'green' when in float mode. There is an exterior fuse
which I
checked and it looks fine....maybe I should replace it just to be
sure.
I have no idea how old this device is or how long they are
supposed to last.
Is there anything else I could check?
However, if it has simply 'expired', any suggestions on what I might
replace it with?
