Re: Powerwise Charger works but doesn't fully charge batteries
Welcome to BGW!
If the ammeter is not showing any current flow and the battery pack voltage is not climbing into the 44-46V range before the charger shuts off, either the charger is not working, the battery pack is bad, or the charger is not connected to the battery pack correctly.
Since total charging current flows through the ammeter and you do not see the needle deflecting upscale, either the fuses in the little round window are blown, the ammeter is blown or the diodes are blown.
Here's the service and owner's manuals I use for my PW II. They're for a Lesteronic II which is basically a Powerwise II with a different label.
Lots of good info in them.
