Default RE: Problem with CellPro Charger

WRITTEN ELSEWHERE BY WOODI WATTSUP:

There are 2 common problems with the CellPro 10S charger. As Tony mentioned, the external fuse contacts can get loose over time and actually melt the fuse as the contacts loosen and the amps/resistance climbs. I would suggest taking the top off the charger and ensure the clips holding the fuse are clean and tight.

Second, there is a fuse between the two center jacks on the top/front of the charger. Easy to test, just check resistance between the 2 center taps. If there is an open, that fuse is blown. If you look at the fuse, it looks more like a diode/resistor than a fuse but it is a fuse. If the fuse is open, you can replace it with an automotive type fuse. I can't recall what the fuse value is but will check and update this post.

That tiny fuse (diode/resistor looking) inside/between the center jacks is rated at 15 amps/125 volts and can be purchased at Radio Shack for less than $1. I
just had to replace mine, that's how I know! Everette
