Charger stopped?

BRS · 05-13-2008, 07:27 PM

The 15amp breaker? on the front of my Powerdrive 48v charger seems very loose. I can't get my charger to kick on, BTW just replaced my pot-box...could this have shorted something out when the charger was plugged in. I was just working, now it's not!

I took the shell off the charger and looked for any fuses,...can't see any, only the breaker which appears to be one piece with two leads.

A loose wire on the F/R switch caused the charger not to kick on? That's interesting... didn't think something like that would effect the charger.

Hawgs,
I see someone is paying attention. My mistake I meant the the charging port, those two little wires coming off the back of it...one was very loose. Thanks for catching that!

Darn, I was having problems with my charger and checked the wires coming off the charging port and they were fine... but didn't check the wires on the F/R switch. I was hoping it was something that simple.

Hawgs,
How is the heavier wire from the charging recpt. feeding directly to the pos. post of the first batt. in series?....I had a problem there too.
