Mains battery charger on a Broom

[dnb]

I have a problem with the Hi-Tec 60A charger on a Broom. The charger unit doesn't want to charge the batteries. I wondered if there were any common failures?

Thanks

I should say I've done the obvious things... The 2 30A blade fuses and the 2 glass slow blow fuses check out OK. There's an odd electronics problem lurking in there somewhere.

They charge on the alternator, so I guess they're OK. It's just inconvenient running the engines when sat next to a perfectly good electricity supply!


On further investigation, it looks like the bridge rectifier in the charger has died.
