Humminbird Battery Charger

[Ebiz]

Have three batteries for my Humminbird Ice55 and can't seem to get them to hold a charge. Two of them are several years old and have seen a lot of use, thinking they were shot I picked up another one this past fall but this one doesn't seem to hold much of a charge at all either.

Is it possible the charger went bad? If so would you guys recommend buying another Humminbird one or are there better brands on the market?

i got the hb porta pack last fall, all my stuff works just fine.

Yeah, the it worked fine for the first few years I had it up until this year

some have mentioned "smart" chargers in the past that automatically turn off after battery is charged so batteries dont burn up. i dont think i got that with my pack, just a regular one. i guess i would start with a new charger & try to recharge batteries, if they dont hold charge then u know batteries r dead & maybe return charger if u like. but if i was starting out with new batteries, probably get a new charger at same time to protect them.

I have had two Humminbird chargers go bad on me. I thought it was my batteries at first but then hooked up my vex charger and the battery was good as new.
