    How can I test a xlr charging port

    It's a pity he can't get no one to look at it who is clued up on these things.

    How can I test a xlr charging port

    It's strange 3 chargers are all not working. Are you using the same wall socket in your home? It sounds like the fuse in the wall socket is bust :)

    How can I test a xlr charging port

    Your XLR connector on the scooter has 3 holes correct? If it does depending what way it is orientated either the top or bottom hole is the inhibitor hole. The centre 2 are the + and - so if you set your meter to DC and probe the centre holes you should get a reading. This will let you know if...

    How can I test a xlr charging port

    Sure it does. Check along your battery harness and where it connects into the control unit it'll have a 60 or 80A just before it enters the control unit. I see you say the scooter moves with the throttle?? If so disregard the fuse comment as it wouldn't go if the fuse was bust.

    Older 40" Samsung TV to play around with! Score!!

    Can you recommend a decent isolating transformer for me please? I only have a small bench and would be looking to take minimal plugs from it. I've heard them mentioned a couple times now in the places I know is good sound information and guidance so I think like you say...."a sound investment"...

    Older 40" Samsung TV to play around with! Score!!

    Awesome warning on the earthing! I wonder how many scopes bit the bullet before the internet! :) I have been watching a few videos on YouTube (EEVBlog) and doing a wee bit reading up on the earthing thing. I was searching YouTube one day and saw the header "how not to blow your scope up" and...

    Older 40" Samsung TV to play around with! Score!!

    I got a new TV a couple days ago so I can now "reverse engineer" the old one! :) WOOHOO!!!! I've been using an older style Samsung one,like from 10 years ago or longer I think. The last new one i got before that lasted a few hours then one of my cats bounced of it and it tipped over and...

    Help selecting my 1st DSO please.

    One thing I can say is....."getting a cheap analogue scope first to learn on" is one of the best bits of advice I've had since taking up electronics. I'm soooo glad I did that! My new digital one has "auto" everything so I'm glad I learned how to get a nice clean trace on the analogue scope...

    Help selecting my 1st DSO please.

    Next on the list is a new signal generator. I'm only looking to spend around £50ish. Any recommendations? Just something easy to use and hobby orientated. The Chinese ones on Ebay seem to have most wave forms and a decent frequency range so maybe something along those lines? I've been...

    Will this charger work?

    That's what I was thinking Neeb. Can you elaborate a bit on "doesn't appear to be working"??

    Help selecting my 1st DSO please.

    I ended up getting the Hantek DSO5102p,was on offer and I liked the look of it and even better than that....a few people who's judgement I trust said its a decent scope for me :) Excellent scope for my needs right now I feel. I got it with the thought that I could hack it to 200 MHz later if I...

    Connecting electrical devices into DC grid - polarity

    That's a bit rude Maris. Why? We were only trying to help you but.... If you want a single direct answer on the subject " I think your a bit thick and full of BS and quite cheeky" You say you understand voltage and current sources and series and parallel but yet not how to connect a device...

    Connecting electrical devices into DC grid - polarity

    An ok the simple answer is for electricity to work the electrons flow in a complete circuit + to - dumping their charge as light,heat or whatever as they flow through. For them to flow you have to have a complete + to - circuit. Think of a simple battery and bulb,connect it up + to + and - to -...

    Positively charged "holes"?

    Well said guys,even I understand the way you all explained it and put it in laymans terms. Wait till I tell the Mrs " I am now on my way to becoming a Quantam Mechanic ".....she'll be well chuffed with me! :cool::cool:

    Connecting electrical devices into DC grid - polarity

    I think what your asking is... Batteries can be connected in series + to - or in parallel + to +,this either gives more volts (series) or more Ah or current available (parallel). When you connect a device to a battery most things are polarised so your just completing the circuit so connect +...
