I acquired a 24 volt forklift battery charger, or it looks like a forklift charger but it is quite small.
It has an Anderson receptacle built into the main housing which was a bit of a clue.
I would like to use it to charge the batteries on my excavator so decided to get it all set up. It runs on 120 volt power.
I plugged it in and the five indicator lights flashed three times and then once each in reverse order, then the power light did not come on.
I checked to see if there was output at the receptacle and got no dc voltage. It has an electronic circuit board and my electrical skills are a bit lacking so I am not even sure how to test things to find out if and where the problem may lie.
Is it possible it needs to be connected to a battery for it to work?
I opened up the box and took a couple of photo's and can post those if required.
Thanks
Michael
