(ET) re: charger help



Hello All, I installed the new capacitor in my charger last night and then re-installed the charger, seems to work pretty good. The output voltage (measured at the batteries) started off a little lower than expected ~38VDC. But after charging all night the output voltage is ~40 - 41VDC. And the timer even works now.
Thanks again for all your help, Tony


Hello All, I installed my new diodes for my charger last night. Before I was getting 0 volts out, now with the new diodes I'm getting 1.6 VDC. Can anyone explain this? I checked my transformer and the windings aren't open, could the capacitor also be bad and cause this? From what the article in Homepower said if the output was around 20V then the capacitor is probably bad...
Thanks for your help in getting my tractor up & running, Tony
