I have an 05 358 with a built in 30 amp charger. When I hook up the shore power cord and turn on the shore power breaker on the meter at the panel will show a power draw and the charger will show around a 30 amp charge. In probably in 10 to 15 minutes the charger drops out regardless of battery condition and the charger breaker is still on. If you have the cabin lights on the lights begin to dim and the charger does not come back on until you manually cut off both the shore power and charger breakers and reset them manually. I would have thought that the charger would automatically restart once the voltage dropped to a certain lower volt level. I certainly would appreciate it if anyone has experience with this problem could give me any assistance .
Thanks,
Boyce

Boyce,
How are you doing?
It's sound as if the charger has started to fail or the batteries may be failing(shorting the plates out).
