Battery or Adapter error?
Bought my son a HOMCOM Electric Go Kart 24V as a starter. It was in its original box for 3 months.
Today I opened it and tried to charge the battery as the manual wrote.
-
Adapter green led turned on
-
After plugged in the battery the green led turned off
-
Plugged out the adapter and tried to replug, green led was on for like 10 seconds (without battery), then died, multimeter shows 0.03V
-
Now the adapter is silent
How do I know if the battery killed the adapter, or both are dead because I'm unlucky?
And how the hell can I search for a charger / battery online? Because I find 24V5Ah without that T plug. Charger is another hell, I have 24V adapters but they are not chargers...GeminiAI said it might kill the adapter when it tries to pull too much voltage, and the adapter is fix 24V.
