        OMG, I feel dumb, mistake like I am newbie beginner. Sorry for wasting your time.

        So, I was digging around, and find out something - simplified schematic of powering the IC in attachment. The zener diode should be MMSZ5245 ( zener voltage = 15V ), and it is working fine ( tested out of the board, there is stable 15V if I apply more to a protective resistor in series with it ). So, if there is 12V on colector of a transistor, 12V should be also on its base, right? Why there is only 6.9V then? I tested also a transistor, onboard, with diode mode - I can see 0.7V at base-collector and base-emitter. So I believe, it is good. Any ideas? ( I tested also an electrolytic capacitor, which is connected to collector, and I measured 0.18R ESR / 47uF ; capacitor is 47uF/50V ).


        // EDIT: tried to replace the transistor FMMT2222A for BCW66G ( little bit underrated, but just for test its fine ), no change. Then I tried to lower 22k resistor, to 10k resistor and then I got around 9V at emitter of the transistor! ( still only 8.18V at VCC of the controller ). Does it mean, that the zener is bad after all?

          voltage in at collector . zener and base fed by the resistor .. the zener sets the base value and emitter should be approx 600 mv lower .
          the zener cant magically make extra voltage . you need to get it higher at the collector . more than 15v . not sure how much more though .

            Well, I know, that zener can not make any extra voltage, but if the voltage at the resistor ( and collector ) is less, than zener voltage, then that voltage should be also at cathode of the diode.
            And I know, why its not there - there is an optocoupler ( its transistor side ) in parallel with zener diode. That's why there is less voltage ( there is around 1V on LED side ). And that means, I probably waste time with this, since LED side of optocoupler is connected somewhere to battery circuitry, so this charger probably start switching only when you connect a battery ( at least it looks like it works that way ).

            I will try to search more, but chances for me are less now.

              yes the battery starts the charger up well it wont start without it .. you sure the connections from battery ok ? what is the battery voltage out of the charger and installed in the charger ?

                I gave up, already gave the charger back to customer. Thank you all anyway, for trying to help me.

                Have a nice day.

                  how to prevent a connected charger from draining battery when not charging?
                  by flat-earther
                  I have an RC radio handset(Taranis QX7) which doesn't have internal battery charger which means I had to remove the battery every time I needed to charge it.
                  So to improve it, I added a 15W USB-C charger board(link) inside and soldered it to the same connector on the PCB where the battery plugs into, great, now I can simply charge it with a USB-C cable.

                  but the problem I found is that after the radio sat for two weeks without being used the 2S 18650 battery that I'm using was at 4.2V!
                  So the battery is backfeeding the charger and being drained.

                  How can I prevent...

                  Bauer tool battery pack charging with a HERCULES charger modification
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  The Bauer power tool battery charger just has to many issues with the charger over heating because I several HERCULES Hercules battery chargers that are 3 amp charge and because they have gone on quite a few times over the years before they came out with the fan cooling battery charger I going to modify one so I can charge Bauer battery packs faster than the crape battery charger that they have

                  Here is how this modification is going to be done I taking a 1.5 amp hour battery enclosure and gutting it removing the battery cells and replacing some Ryobi 1.5 amp hour battery pack that...

                  Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

                  I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

                  Milwaukee M18 HD12.0 (12 amp hour battery pack) unbalanced failure charger refusing
                  by sam_sam_sam
                  I have two Milwaukee 12 amp hours battery packs that have an issue with battery cells very unbalanced these are probably over 4 years old and been heavily used in the past but now get occasionally used heavily and when I went to use the grinder tool the battery lost battery battery power very quickly so I decided to open it up and found some battery cells voltage from 3.6 to 4.1 no wonder the battery charger was not fully charging them 3 out of 4 LEDs were on meaning that it was only 75% charged

                  So I have put them on the battery testing machine to drain each battery cell down to...
