Default Dropped my 36v charger from 7'. Just try it or?

Well yeah I had my charger on a shelf about 7 feet up to get it out of the way for Winter and one of the cables snagged on my truck/plow as I was pulling out of the garage and wham that sucker smashed down onto the concrete floor. It's a little misshaped and now and im left wondering if I should just plug it into the cart and see what happens or if I should remove the cover and check things out. I was able to wire my entire basement, from adding the circuit to the main box, to installing outlets and switches etc, but I have no experience with chargers other than plugging them in.

I would try it and see - if no sparks, let it run but, keep on eye on it and make sure it shuts off properly

Everything off and unplugged the voltmeter was at 38. Plugged in the charger and it's acting normal. Currently the voltmeter says 44.5.

It normally settles to about 38.6 after I unplugged the charger. Today it settled down to 39.3. Thoughts?

It can take 12-24 hours for the pack to settle, no worries.

So I was charging my cart today and needed to move the unit. I grabbed the handle and moved it, causing it to blow sparks out from the inside and stop working. So I am looking for a new charger!
