Multi-meter2. Charger3. Battery4. Paper clip (or similar), potentially.Instructions:1. Adjust multi meter to DC voltage&#xA0;1. Test charger first - red cable - Positive; Black cable negative. Test positive to positive, negative to negative.&#xA0;Note: 33.4v - 34.7v is a normal range of power output.&#xA0;TESTING THE BATTERY1. Check cables, and connect positive to positive, negative to negative as you did when testing the charger.&#xA0;Note: Take note of this percentage as you will compare it to your BMS voltage next.&#xA0;(Ref video voltage = 27.98v (Testing cell charge)TESTING BMS VOLTAGE&#xA0;1. Negative prong into tiny hole between two larger holes. If your tip is too short, insert a small paperclip or similar.&#xA0;2. Insert positive to positive and check voltage.Note: 27.98v matches the battery voltage tested above. This indicates a good reading of BMS circuitry to battery cell voltage.USING THE INLINE BATTERY CHECKERYou can also purchase our<a href="https://foildrive.com.au/products/inline-battery-checker?_pos=1&amp;_sid=919858ed4&amp;_ss=r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#xA0;inline battery checker</a>&#xA0;to view the voltage on your battery.
