How I Fixed My Snap On Workshop Battery Charger!

How I Fixed My Snap On Workshop Battery Charger!
After getting the switch working in the last episode, this is what happens when i fitted the new style rectifier diodes. Man this charger is a beast.
This is a link to the new diodes on ebay - ebay.us/dKUFfX

Dude you know so much about so many things I'm impressed 👏👏👏 Good job as always

[@testandtune6096]

I try, thanks man, its amazing what you can learn from the internet these days!

[@madeintheusadh1850]

Thanks for your videos you did help me

Those diodes look the same as Assocaite chargers and can still be bought at centry tool.

[@davidholmes6936]

thinking the battery will be well and truly charged on the 135

[@testandtune6096]

Lol!!

[@alfredocuomo1546]

Hey Mate don't you know why the charger is Humming, it's because it doesn't know the words..!!! Also do you still have that block of wood stuck in the transformer from the first video, maybe try taking it out. Lol nice call on the Diodes, anytime you hear the transformer Humming like that they should always be suspect.

You could jumpstart a FrankenTurbo now.

If you use 4 of those diodes in a bridge rectifier circuit you will double your efficiency!

[@testandtune6096]

I was trying to do the match as i could get much less powerful diodes locally, but assuming you can use them in a bridge rectifier setup. For the 60amp charger would i need 4 15amp diodes or still 4 30amp diodes?

[@MatthewGlad]

@@testandtune6096 I would use 4 X 30amp voltage is not your issue, but would be interesting to see what happens.

[@MatthewGlad]

@J B I forget it's been a long time ago since electronics classes

[@MatthewGlad]

@J B I did some googling the unused wave is flipped up voltage stays the same 👍

[@whitcwa]

No, the dual diode design is a center tapped full wave rectifier. If you try to replace them with a full wave bridge rectifier that uses four diodes, you'll get double the voltage. The dual diode design is more efficient but it needs a center tapped transformer with more windings than the bridge rectifier design. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier#Full-wave_rectification

[@uisperfectemail9720]

One direction, NOT 😂

[@testandtune6096]

I'm glad somebody noticed that joke haha.
