Our Solar Octane battery charger had its pcb board come loose inside the case and it shorted against something when it fell. I ordered a replacement board for it but it seems there is something else wrong with it for it only puts out 9 volts on two of the three switch postions (2 A 12 volt, 10A 12 volt). The car start position still puts out 12 volts. I don't have a battery at the moment to place a load on the charger for testing purposes, just putting my meter on the output clamps. Would anybody have an idea of what I could check next? Would the rectifier board be toast? Can I test it with ohmmeter before just ordering a replacement?
Was gonna upload the schematic but the single page pdf is 2.89 MB and too large for the file limits. Its a OS6110 wheeled charger. Wiring diagram I downloaded was from this site:http://www.tesstools.net/OS6110_1330_Parts_List_s/2036.htm
Also wondering if there is a way to test the rectifier and transformer on this unit, to see if its the culprit?
