Battery charger only delivers 7 volts

Hello Friend. They brought me to fix a 12v battery charger. The first thing I did is to test the voltage I delivered and it turns out that it only gives 7v. Disarm it and it has two negative diodes (I upload photos) in parallel. From these diodes comes the positive that goes to the battery and the negative comes directly from the transformer. Measuring with the multimeter in the scale and voltage of alternating current I have 15v before the diodes, that is to say that that is what the traffic delivers. I measure in direct current after the diodes and it gives me 7v .. To the diodes the probe with the multimeter and apparently they are fine, in one direction they lead (giving me a resistance of between 500 and 600 ohms) and in the other direction they do not lead. I don't know if the tests I did are right or this type of diodes are tested differently. I hope you can help me. Thank you

Hi. The measurements are correct since you are measuring half wave. regards

But it should deliver 12v at least to be able to charge a battery. I also thought the same thing but before the charger was like that and now it is not

Second what servimat1 indicates, if you distrust, take a 15V transformer and place a single rectified diode and measure what you get that for this case of only measurement is the same if they are two in parallel or only one. It may be that the rectifiers are wrong, some connection involved in the whole scheme or the transformer itself, if it does not work now ... even a fuse in bad condition if it has one. Not having filtering is not continuous output and being half wave the output is 0.707 of what the traffic minus the diodes fall.

Two negative diodes only? Well to charge a 12 volt battery you need another positive plate with two diodes, unless the transformer was 220 volts and is connected to 110 volts ...

The transformer is 220 and I connect it to 220 .. I do not explain how it worked, because the owner told me that I always charge the car battery with this charger

The tension you measure is normal. To know what the peak voltage it delivers, you must put a properly polarized capacitor in the continuous output.

I measured the voltage delivered with a battery connected and there if it gives me 13.5v .. but with nothing connected in the clamps, only the tips of the tester, it gives me 7v .. so apparently it is working

The reason is because it is a pulsating tension. In addition to being a 1/2 wave rectifier, the voltage is lower.
When putting a capacitor, it is charged to the peak voltage of the wave

The battery under charge acts as a capacitor / capacitor and allows you to measure with a "normal" multimeter, if you don't need one that measures "true rms" https://www.promax.es/esp/noticias/561/que-significa- rms-and-true-rms-we-explain-the-differences /
