It does have a weird delay turning on after I turn the power switch on to the power supply. More or less it feels like the initial power up. I dunno if it matters the dial is up when I turn it on. I bought it used with my xmaxx but I think I will look into a diff charger

Is the breaker a GFCI, AFCI (arc fault), or combination breaker?
Arc fault breakers detect sparks or arcs. Switches sometimes arc when turned on and if the switch is on and you plug it into the outlet the arc at the outlet can trip the arc fault breaker.
