Default Battery charger/battery issues?

My onboard charger has been acting weird as of late. One time i will run my trolling motor for only an hour or two and it will take hours for the batteries to charge. Tonight i go and charge them from my fishing trip last week in which i ran the trolling motor for a good 4-5 hours and it only took 2 hours to charge. When i intially plugged it in to charge, the lights wouldnt even come on. I played around with it for a bit and only the green light came on showing fully charged, usually the red light showing it is charging will stay lit when the green one comes on. Could it be the charger needs replaced or one of my batteries isnt holding a charge. Its a 12v system on a basstracker pro team 175.

Clean all connectors and replace wing nuts with regular nuts. Tighten down snug with ratchet.

Then try it.
