Thoughts on this:
P2V decides to take a little swim in the creek. was under about 15 minutes. Once recovered, the battery was removed from the P2V and all battery LED's was blinking erratically at the same time. Can't remember an exact pattern, just that all LED's would be on when the blinks occurred. Could not operate the battery switch to turn them off. This went on till the following day when it appeared to have finally died. The P2V believe it or not came out with minimal losses. After completely blowing out with the air compressor and waiting a day for good measure it fired up and only failed parts were 2 ecb's which probably happened at splashdown. Now back to the battery. After letting it set for a day or two the urge to try and charge it was overwhelming. Plugged into the charger and it seemed nothing happened. But wait something must have, because now the charger will not even charge two other known good batteries. LED on the charger just stays green and will not go into the charge mode with a red LED. Put a meter on the charger and it still shows an output of 12.6v but I do not believe it is throwing out any amps. So now I think the charger/PS is also toast. Any thoughts on something to try and check?
