The Victron Energy XLR Charger Tester is a portable diagnostic tool that checks battery charger output through an XLR connector. It measures voltage from 8 to 80Vdc and current from 0 to 10Adc, giving a quick pass or fail reading without needing a battery connected.

Key features

• Voltage range, 8 to 80Vdc, covering common mobility and light EV battery voltages.
• Current range, 0 to 10Adc.
• Connector, XLR, the standard fitted to many mobility scooters and powerchairs.
• Weight, 0.265 kg.
• No battery required, charger output can be confirmed directly at the connector.

Applications

Technicians use the tester to work out whether a charger fault sits with the charger itself or the battery, without needing a load or a known-good battery on hand. It suits workshops and mobile service visits alike, and it's a practical option for checking incoming stock or warranty returns before they go back into service. Service centres handling XLR-connector chargers across mobility scooters and powerchairs will find it useful for confirming output before and after repair.

Using the tester safely

This is a test instrument, not a charger or power supply. Keep it within the 8 to 80Vdc and 0 to 10Adc limits, and don't connect it to chargers or systems outside that range. Use by a qualified technician is recommended, and it's worth checking that the charger under test is genuinely an XLR-connector unit before connecting.
