EMAG ch.arger Issue

[Chris TS-1438]

I am trying to diagnose my problem here...

when I try and charge my battery...it charges for a short period of time and turns from red to green. then I take the battery back off and it does the same thing...short red light (twenty minutes) and then green that flashes every so often...I have ran the battery down after about 200 solonoid trips each time...

MY QUESTION...

...is this a battery or charger issue?

most likely a charger issue.
if you have a different charger you can try it.

where are you out of.cali, east coast, canada,ETC.
i can put it on my charger for ya and rule out the battery being the issue.
- i think we have talked already though.

not sure.

but i use a charger with alegartor clips so there is always a perfect connection.

hope that helps?!

The battery looks like it was rebuilt in 2010. It should still be good. I suspect the charger is not working properly. Also, don't go by the light on the charger. Leave it on charge over night. If you have access to a voltage meter, measure the output of the charger. It should be fairly high at around 25Vdc.

Listen to this guy. Green light doesn't always mean go.

^^^^ Thirded or whatever. My charger does the exact same thing. I put the battery on and very shortly after it turns green. When I first got it, I tried using like this and couldnt figure out why the battery would die so quickly. Seems to be a common issue with these chargers. Just do as Athomas says and leave it on overnight. Seriously, if you are going to ask for advise, listen to it.

yeah i would do what they say before going my route.

alot of time patience is key.

again i had the same issue you are having.

these guys are deffinently more informed when it comes specific issues like this.

its not that I wasnt listening to previous advice. I have a voltage meter, I just wasnt able to figure it out...lol.

anyway. It does seem to be charging it, I just wanted to explore all possibilities. thanks


And thanks for scolding me...its very helpful and appreciated.

seriously though, thanks to everyone here on AO for helping out. Ill post a vid of the emag when I get my orings in the mail as a token of thanks.
