Hey guys, please check my logic.
I have an electrolysis setup that's been running fine for about 10 months now. Today, I couldn't get it to work to save my life; I think the charger is toast.
I have a cheap HF 6v/6a - 12v/2a - 12v/12a charger.
I used my multimeter to test and here's what I did:
-Set meter to 20v DC
-Clipped the red charger clip to the red meter lead
-Clipped the black charger clip to the black meter lead
-Set the charger to 12v/12a
-Turned on the meter and the charger
The meter read zilch. In my mind, it should read 12v, right? I set the charger to 6v also, still ZERO. The little ammeter on the charger jumps every time I change the setting on it.
My multimeter is fine; show's my car battery at 12.56v.
Think the charger is busted?
Thanks.
