Why my charger going to fault and stop charging?
1 comments:

If the charger for the Taylor-Dunn part number BG-015-00 is going to fault and stopping charging, it may be due to a battery issue. The manual states that if, after charging, none of the battery cells exceed a hydrometer reading of 1250, there could be a fault in the charging system. However, if the charging system is functioning correctly and the battery is still not accepting a charge, the battery may need to be replaced. Additionally, if any battery cells vary by more than 30 points in specific gravity, it may indicate a bad cell, which could also cause charging issues.

Maintenance, Service, and Repair CLEANING Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells at all times. Do not work with or charge battery in an area where open flames (including gas furnace or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present. Always provide ample ventilation in rooms where batteries are being charged.
Maintenance, Service, and Repair TESTING (NON-MAINTENANCE FREE) NOTE: A combination of the Load Test and Specific Gravity Test should be used to accurately determine the condition of the battery. Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells at all times. Do not work with or charge battery in an area where open flames (including gas furnace or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present.
Maintenance, Service, and Repair Specific Gravity Test NOTE: The battery must be fully charged before performing this test. The specific gravity of a cell is an indication of the actual state of charge of the cell. A fully charged cell should have a reading of 1275 to 1300 (see the illustration to the right).

Brake Lining Precautions BRAKE LINING HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Taylor-Dunn does not currently supply asbestos fiber-brake pads/shoes with any vehicle.

Questions and answers
Why my charger going to fault and stop charging?
If the charger for the Taylor-Dunn part number BG-015-00 is going to fault and stopping charging, it may be due to a battery issue. The manual states that if, after charging, none of the battery cells exceed a hydrometer reading of 1250, there could be a fault in the charging system. However, if the charging system is functioning correctly and the battery is still not accepting a charge, the battery may need to be replaced. Additionally, if any battery cells vary by more than 30 points in specific gravity, it may indicate a bad cell, which could also cause charging issues.
