STEP 4
With an ammeter or a multimeter set to amp (range 10A) test the charging current.
NOTE :
AMMETERS MUST BE CONNECTED IN SERIES WITH THE BATTERY CIRCUIT.
STEP 5
The current reading should read approximately 7amp at charge start and 0.2 amp at
complete charge.
STEP 6
With a voltmeter or a multimeter, set to volts (range 30v) test the charging voltage at the
battery supply (red + blue - ve wires). The reading should increase to 28.4v during charging.
