Re: Mumbles, Eletrolosis ?

quote Richard A. White:

And now my charger keeps shutting off… Thoughts as to why? Shows Error, well the error light keeps lighting up…

Hi Richard, your charger may be going in to current limit mode and shutting itself down to protect itself.

The strength of the electrolyte solution will determine how much current is drawn from the charger. If the solution is too strong (too much soda) then it’s resistance will be low and hence more current will flow. naturally this current is drawn from the charger.

Also, its important to note is that electrolytic solutions derived from soda ash or sodium carbonate will generally have a negative temperature co-efficient. In other words as the solution warms up, it’s resistance reduces. So it’s possible to have a situation that when you first power up your charger the current is low and within the operating range of your charger, but as it warms up, the current drawn increases to a point that causes your charger to shut down on over-current.

Try a slightly weaker concentrate. I suspect that may help.
