This is a good video on how to troubleshoot and repair old battery chargers. 6v or 12v DC.  Last Edited by Bush Master on 10/29/2020 09:38 PM |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 75860310 United States10/29/2020 09:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I pulled two selectable multi voltage battery chargers (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72v) 5+10A out of the trash. These heavy little suckers retail for around $500. Both of them had burned out the fuse holders. (secondary side). I replaced the fuse holders with a more contemporary 30A circuit breaker and they worked perfectly. I gave one to a buddy for his electric forklift and I kept one for my golf cart. |

Quoting: Bush Master This is a good video on how to troubleshoot and repair old battery chargers. 6v or 12v DC. :electric: i like the older chargers. I had a new smart charger and that thing gave one error after another as to why it would not do its job on the car. I was given an older charger, hooked it up and it charged the battery just fine. I hate the new smart chargers - smart enough to figure out how not to do its job. |

Great advice, and why are we filling our landfills with reusable equipment? Such a waste here in the USA.

The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it.

A lot of the new stuff has security screws. For example, to clean the inside of my little space heater fans, which have become obstructed by lint and dust, I needed spanner-head drivers. |

I do not collect old junk except battery chargers, voltage regulators and solor radiation panels. Even speakers are easy to repair. |

Compressed air works wonders. Personally I just let them burn off. Outside at first. Just did this in the last 30. Sprinkled dielectric water mixed with cinnamon powder just to keep ed Warren form coming back.  |

Not sure if rodents ate the wires or if they are corroded or voltage-fried or what... :fireplace: "Remember when we used to treat colds and flu with chicken soup, saltwater gargles and warm tea instead of Communism?" |
