Tuzo 251 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can anyone please tell me which wire is the live and which is the neutral ? One wire is black and the other black with a grey stripe through it. Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

graham4877 1,181 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 It should have a safety on the charger so it wont blow, if wired wrong.. have you a multimeter as that will tell you for sure what is what mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Positive is the wire with the trace. You could try it on your tongue though if you're not sure .............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
