Possible Causes

Stuck or welded main relay contacts, Faulty relay feedback sensing circuit, Incorrect wiring across relay contacts, Main control board failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF power and verify with a tester. Do not attempt to use a charger that fails its self-test.

  • 1. Internal inspection (qualified only): With power OFF, open the charger and locate the main relay/contactor. Inspect for signs of overheating, melted plastic, or discoloration.
  • 2. Continuity test: Using a multimeter, check continuity across the relay output terminals with the charger powered off. There should be no continuity. If continuity is present, the relay is welded closed and must be replaced.
  • 3. Check feedback wiring: Some Besenergy models use a feedback line from the relay output to the main board. Ensure this wire is intact and properly connected.
  • 4. Replace relay: If the relay is welded or mechanically stuck, replace it with the exact Besenergy-specified part. Ensure proper torque on all high-current connections.
  • 5. Board-level issue: If the relay is mechanically sound and wiring is correct, the relay check circuit on the main control board may be defective and the board should be replaced.

When to call a professional: Relay and high-current work should be done by a qualified technician.
