That's the plan....

The worst case scenario is four of the diodes are duff and you're only reading through a pair of diodes connected to one phase. In that case, you'll get charging but not a lot.
Certainly not enough to have any lights on.

Anymore guidance on full testing relative to my results in previous post then Mike?
mike the bike:
Measure each diode individually. You don't even need a meter, a battery and bulb will do. Remember that diodes only conduct in one direction so check each diode both ways. That's 12 checks.
Just ask if you need more advice.
Thinks.. maybe I need to make a video.
philward:
Thanks Mike - I have checked the diodes based on the your previous advise and got the results posted earlier. Sorry for my ignoranace but what wires do I need to test as per your last post? Sorry to be a pain!
