TESTING/REPAIRING THE CHARGER SYSTEM
The Vulcan currently has two charge racks available, a “direct wire” with a permanently
attached 12 V DC power cord, and a “standard” rack with a socket that accepts a variety of
charge cords for various DC and AC power sources.
Note: All power sources must provide the charge rack with 12 - 15 V DC during charging.
AC Chargers will read between 13 and 22 Volts under no load conditions, depending upon
your transformer. DC Vehicle System Charge cords will read between 11 and 15 Volts, the
normal voltage of the vehicle.
Testing the AC Wall Charger
A. The AC wall charger can be tested by simply measuring its output voltage.
B. Make sure that the wall charger is plugged into a functioning
AC outlet.
C. Place a multimeter in the DC volts position.
D. Hold the charge connector facing towards you, with the black key
at the top of the connector (see illustration).
1. Place the positive lead of the meter onto the left pin of the
connector.
2. Place the negative meter lead on the right pin.
E. The meter should give a reading between 13 and 22 volts and there must be no
indication of reversed polarity.
F. If the voltage or polarity is wrong replace the charger.
G. Do not attempt to repair the AC charger.
Testing the DC-1 Charge Cord (Cigarette Lighter Plug)
A. Connect the DC-1 charger plug to its power source (power point, cigarette lighter
adapter, etc...).
B. Place a multimeter into the DC Volts position.
