6 and 12 v Borg solenoid
Is there a way to tell a 6v from a 12 solenoid on a BW OD. I have a couple solenoids that I don’t know the voltage, hooked one to a 6v battery charger and it will not kick it but 12 will so I am assuming it’s 12
Thanks |

Re: 6 and 12 v Borg solenoid
You need to connect them up to a fully charged battery to correctly test them. They pull a heavy in-rush current when first activated and a battery charger may not have the power to handle it.
Unless they are marked 12V or 6V, the only way I know to test them is those that will activate on 6V are 6V, and if they will not, but will activate on 12V are 12V. Tom Endy |
