is it a charger problem

My charger always goes to 16 when I plug it in. After riding today I plugged it in and it only went to 9. Any ideal what would cause this .

Was it a short ride with a fully charged battery? Seems like its acting normal.

I hunted off of it today ran it down to only two bars showing . So it was pretty low . Normally it goes over 15 today only 9.

Not sure....I would just let the charger do it's cycle and test the batteries with a DMM after.

I had one of the diodes in my charger go bad and it did the same thing. They are easy to check with either a continuity tester or a DMM.
