We have a 2008 Swift Group van, so appliances are getting elderly now.
We have recently been away and everything seemed to be working properly, but a few days ago the van was in for service and the dealer's electrician reported that the battery charger was not working properly as the output was only 11.7 volts.
However, the battery is fully charged, the mover worked fine when we got home, and according to my meter, the voltage is 14.2.
What they could not tell me, as the electrician was not available, was how/where they were measuring.
To measure the output from the charger, do I need to disconnect it from the rest of the wiring loom?
That would involve removing the battery from the circuit, which would set off the alarm, so I am reluctant to do that if it is not necessary.
