Re: (ET) Charger out.



The charging timer has a timer motor and a normally open switch which closes when the timer is set and opens when the timer times out.  Sounds like the switch is not closing and therefore not connecting the charger to the batteries.

Is there a klixon on the output of the charger?  I hear they sometimes crap out.

Well, interesting. The charger on my E15 seems to have stopped working. It's
been rebuilt, the symptoms are as follows:

Charge: Hum from transformer. Disconnect the capacitor, no audible hum. Plug
capacitor in, hum. Voltage at battery is 36.4, no change with charger on or
off.

Disconnect charger DC output and measure: 39.4 volts on digital meter.

Any ideas?
