One of our Cushman carts used to get around the plant came in with a work order saying they didn't think it was charging right. The carts have onboard battery chargers. Can anybody recommend a proceedure for investigating this problem without an occiloscope but with just a vom?
I have a couple questions. If you put the test leads on the batteries when the charger is operating what would that tell you compared to disconnecting the charger from the batteries and then putting the leads on the charger? I understand the basic components of a power supply-at least the older ones-the transformer, the rectifier(usually diodes), the filter or part that smooths out the voltage ripple. To check diodes would you need to disconnect them from the circuit? Thanks for any help! Leon
