I have this twin pack. One charger puts out over 16 volts the other less than 5. What is wrong?

if both units are exposed to the same sun source levels I would expect the unit putting out only 5 VDC is faulty...in strong sun my units will put out ~ 18-20 VDC

Either your voltmeter is defective or the solar panels are. Their output should be close to each other assuming they're getting the same amount of sun. 5 watts @ 12 volts should be about 0.4 amps.........voltage output under ideal, sunny, conditions should be in the 10 -14 volt range depending on temperature and amount of sunshine. I assume the wire lengths are the same for each, otherwise the longer the length the lower the output.

It needs a new batttery, or the charger is bad.Check the volt output on charger.

I don't know of any reason. I own an older combo charger and haven't had a problem. The only difference is that the new one works faster.

It's telling you that the batteries are too low. It eats up batteries so I got some good rechargable ones and now no worries. If you can afford it get 16 so you can have a set charging while using a the other.

Check the rated output of your charger. I've charged mine with chargers rated from 1 to 2.1 amps. Obviously, it charges faster with more current.

Unplug the charger from the power outlet. Reverse it and try to plug it in the other way if possible. Polarity shouldn't matter, but these switching type power supplies are cheap and sometimes gets static hung up inside them.

I check the voltage with my multimeter. The charger I ordered from Amazon charges 4 pairs, 8 AA or AAA, as pairs. When the light for the pair turns green, the pair is charged. My MM shows just over 1.4 volts after charging. Hope this helps.

Make sure that the output on the charger is 2 Amp. It won't charge on anything less

Sorry I can't help you. My battery went out because the charger was putting out 19 volts.

Hi these charger only put out 19 volts so i think you're out of luck on this on

Its different from mine. Maybe your stuff has a problem with charger. You'd better ask producer.

I'm not sure. I would check the voltage coming out of the adapter plug with a VOM meter to see if the problem is the charger or the computer/battery.

Regardless of anything it should show 12 volts. You need to use the amp feature on you're volt meter to measure amps. If its only reading 1 volt then most likely the charger is busted or you're volt meter.

I agree with Cpk voltages will change constantly, but I would still confer with the manufacture when possible. My charger charges at 4.2 volts with no problem.

Check the a/c unit, when the cables get bent or crimped, items tend not to turn on or off. If you can, flex the cable while plugged in, find the 'sweet spot' and tape a Popsicle stick to the cable (or anything else that keeps it in the correct position to work. IF the pwer supply is dead, read the back and see what amp/volts it has and use a substitute that matches. Worst case scenario search on amazon for a new charger. If there are none, let me know what the volts/amps are and I will list the one I removed from my printer and list it, if I still have it. I have 2 medium sized tubs of just power supplies from stuff that died. : )

Hi BorisAn interesting question. I looked up under this link:http://battery-charger-review.toptenreviews.com/sony-quick-charger-review.htmlLook at the top ten review there.Have not tried any of those . I got the same problem so I use 2 chargers and just charge an extra.

If the battery pack isn't powered up then the charger is shot. Start with a drained battery for this test, then test it out under a load after charging.Hope This helps.
