TLP (TOP?) Battery Charger - Model AC940-E (Fuses?) - Problem Solved!
Three years back, when I bought my first AEG, I received a TLP battery charger as part of the deal. Of course, immediately after buying the AEG, life, career, etc got in the way & everything sat, packed away, until just recently.
Here's the problem - having just recently received my gun back from Matt & 13ones at Warcraft Games, after a long over due tune up & new battery, my charger apparently does not work. * Normally, TLP chargers are quite fan noisy - mine, nothing, no noise what so ever. (It gets pretty warm to the touch, but no fan action.) * After hooking up my new 9.6V - 1700 Mah battery for the usual discharging/charging procedure, the following happens: upon pushing the "discharge" button, the discharge comes on, then within ten seconds, there is a loud "CLICK", & the discharge light goes out. When I attempt to push the charge mode button, nothing happens - I'm left with the power light on, but no apparent charging taking place. * I've visually inspected both fuses for this charger, A 10 AMP fuse (Red) located on the front of the charger & a .5 AMP fuse (glass tube type) located on the right rear back panel, located inside the body - both of which appear, visually, to be in good shape. So, am I doing something wrong in hooking up my battery, or is something wrong with the charger itself? I spent a couple of hours trying different techniques, wire placement, wriggling connectors, etc, to no avail. Does anyone out there have experience with these types of chargers? EDIT: Quote:
However, my problem lies in finding the correct style of 110Volt - 1 Amp fuses. The charger itself requires a narrow type fuse. The standard auto type of these are to large, diameter wise, I've discovered, and of the three places I tried, The Source (Yipe!), Canadian Tire (Ugh) & a local RC shop (at they tried to help me...), no one has been able to help me so far. So in a nut shell, what type of fuse is required for this style of battery charger, and where can I find them? EDIT: Problem Solved! Charger required a Nexxtech 250V - 1 Amp Fuse (Part #2701171) - located at The Source (I know... I know... but they're close to where I live...) Charger works great! Insert Snoopy Dance here...
