    e-mag charger/battery

    I think there is something wrong with my e-mag charger or my battery. I pluged my battery into my wall for about 45 mins last noght and when I put it on my gun nothing happened. I had no idea what was wrong so I asked my mom to plug it in her car today while she drove to work and stuff like that. When I got home once again nothing happened. When I took my battery holder apart and just put the battery to the gun and there was a spark, so I have no idea what is going on, any help that u could give me would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have access to a multimeter, check the battery voltage to see if it actually has a charge. The voltage should be over 16.8v at least. Once you determine if the battery is charging then you can go on to the next step of diagnosis.

      Ok I finally got a hold of a multimeter, and it said that my battery was at about 18.2 volts. It is still not powering my gun, so any advice on what I should do would be very helpful.

          Sounds like your battery is OK.

          Does the gun power up at all when you put the battery on? The red LED should flash the version number.

          No activity would indicate either a connection problem or a board problem.

          Let us know.

              Keep the connections clean. Maybe there was a piece of dirt or corrosion where the battery terminal made contact with the frame terminal.
