Hello everyone, I bought this charger and it has the famous green light problem. The red light and fan does not turn on to start charge.
I need your help to make this charger trigger on and function again.
[strike]
One thing I think might help are the two potentiometers in the picture that I do not know what they do. I know the bottom single one controls the output voltage, but I am scared to mess blindly with the other two.[/strike]
It worked when it arrived last month but required each time more plugging and unplugging to start, until even with half an hour of plugging in and out the wall/bicycle did not work.
EDIT: battery reads 36v at charging port, charger reads 42v when plugged in the wall with green light on, battery charges with a 42v 1.5A lead acid charger I have around.
EDIT 2: Tried hooking an incandescent bulb to the charger. Lights dimly for a second then everything shuts down.
EDIT 3: The charger now passes the incandescent bulb test but still not works properly.
EDIT 4: Charger appears to work but with a clicking noise.
EDIT 5: Charger failed during a charge, no green light anymore and no output voltage is measured.
Here are pictures of the charger:
