Following the directions below, I was diagnosing the rectifiers on my generator that is not charging. It appears that my positive rectifier is bad, but the readings I am getting on my multimeter do not match what they are saying in the instructions below. It says between 20 and 30 ohms for a 1.5 V dry cell and 10 to 15.ohms for a 3 V dry cell? That is where I am confused with my readings and what they’re asking.

this is the readings from connection 4 in the diagram. And along with that a picture of connection 4

this is the reading from all three posts on the negative rectifier.
