Given the way chargers are usually wire, will setting the charger on
10 amps provide more starting power than setting it on 2 amps? I
would have assumed the answer was yes, but the ammeter went to 10 amps
even in the 2 amp setting.


And before anyone brings it up, I've been testing the kick starter
too, and the ignition and fuel systems. I'm making mulitples tests,
in order to test all the systems. Before I recommend spending money
on a battery and a couple other parts.




The open circuit voltage of a charger means next to nothing.


The only problem I can see is that most chargers today are automatic and
need to sense battery voltage before they turn on.


And or go into maintenance mode, etc. In short it's probably not a
problem with non-smart chargers, but might be with ones that are.
