Re: (ET) Charger working?

Just to be clear, that 45 volts is measured near the end of charge, so just *before* the timer turns off.
If you have the patience, it might be useful to measure the voltage before starting the charge and then again every 30 minutes during charging so then you can have an idea what the profile looks like.

Hm. Does the meter move into the end of the white at the end of a charge?
Grab a trusty voltmeter and check the voltage: It should be about 45 volts at the end of charge. Less than 42 indicates a possible capacitor problem on the transformer.

I have a E15 that I just got working.  I have been mowing every few
weeks and am very happy.  (Purchased a set of 6 batts from Sams.)

Every time I mow I set the charger to 1-2 and then let it charge.
However every time I'm ready to start mowing the fuel gauge hasn't moved
very far into the green.  But I am able to mow the lawn.

So the question is, how can I tell if the charger is working and how
well?  What are the other options for charging the batts?

Thanks

Speaking of E12M's, according to the brochures on elec-trak.org, the
E12M can handle the snow blower and the front blade. The only thing it
cannot handle looks to be the rear tiller. Is this true with all E12M's.
The brochure was just for 72.

Any drawbacks to using an E12M with a blade and snow blower?

Thanks,
Corbett

It has a poor tuning radius with the blower.
