Just got my new charger back from MinnKota. As I said above I sent mine in with a picture of the battery and explanation of the problem. They didnt tell me what was wrong but sent me the new digital model charger to replace mine. I would carefully check the voltage. Based on my conversation with the tech line at minnkota, it should show a a gradual increase in voltage to about 14.6, then after it senses the full charge, slowy drop off. Mine never dropped on the #2 back. Stayed on peak charge. That is what fried the battery and led to the explosion.
