HI all
Can anyone suggest a good battery charger, for my bike, its a 36v2a charger I need with a fused plug, and a jack plug (yellow) on charging end. the battery is 36v on bike. I have a charger atm but the plug isnt fused, plus charger seems faulty as green light dont always come on at 42V it sometimes go to 42.3v and i have to wriggle connection at battery end socket then light goes green

You could measure the connector with your micrometer.

I don't think you should rush off and buy something before you've received sufficient expert advice, as you often do.

There's probably nothing wrong with your charger. You should borrow somebody else's meter to check it. If you have a laptop charger or anything else with lithium batteries, like lawnmower, garden tools, vacuum cleaner, etc, measure the charger's voltage and compare that with what's written on the charger. If they all read high, it's your meter.

I have checked the charger when unplugged from battery, and green light does come on. but like you said the plug isnt fused

Have to say, again you've started another thread about the same subject. Why not keep everything on one thread and be patient? It'd easier for the experts to help you.
