Mantraguy Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have a cheap 'fast' charger that came with my Gotway Tesla V2; it's supposed to be 5A but only actually outputs between about 2.5 and 3.2A. It doesn't have a display but I use it with a Charge Doctor and plot the charge graphs. The current on it fluctuates constantly from about 2.5 to 3.2A, and the average current drops gradually when in CC mode. Once it gets close to 100% the current drops as you'd expect (CV mode) and at that point, the current is stable. It seems to work just fine; balances the batteries well etc. I've been using it for around 6 months and haven't had any problems; it just doesn't charge as fast as advertised (supposed to be 5A) and fluctuates a lot. There are no potentiometers inside so nothing to adjust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
