Aye.. one last go I think…

It was bought privately and when plugged in the green light came on. It was when I put the battery in that it blew. The seller would not have known if it was ‘faulty’ otherwise if he’d used it it would have done the same ‍♂️.. I’m guessing it had something to do with my supply .. especially...

Thanks.. but to tell you the truth I’m not one for messing about soldering unfortunately.. if it was a straight swap out like a normal fuse then yes I’d do that.. but as said it’s easier and as cheap to buy another charger knowing its caput if I dare

Thanks, I just thought it was strange that my original charger, after using it many times to recharge the batteries suddenly decided to blow ‍♂️.. and stranger still that the second one (I’d had for 10 mins ) did the same thing in different sockets with different batteries. I’ve since had all 4...

I’ll have another closer look…

I couldn’t see anything that looked like a glass fuse inside on the board ‍♂️

Opened the charger up and only part that looks like it’s blown by the black band. (Pic) I’m assuming this is the cause.

I’ll have a check.. I’m pretty sure though that the original I opened up looked like it was all soldered.. mind I wasn’t looking for a glass fuse as I was checking the board for and burnt out parts

I can think is that it’s a mains problem?.however both were plugging into different sockets in the house when they blew ‍♂️.. and nothing else has blown any fuses when plugged into the mains having lived here 9 years. Does seem odd that two have done the same thing and I’d used my original...

No the battery that blew my original charger was one off my drill… the battery that blew the second hand one was one that came with the charger this morning strait out of the package ‍♂️

They are Li-ion.. the first to blow my original charger was one of the batteries that came with the set. I know it still had some charge in it and I’d never had problems with them charging before. I went to slot in one of the batteries that came with the second hand unit earlier and that blew...

Hi, I’ve had an Erbauer 18v cordless drill combo for a few years and always been able to charge the batteries without issue. However when i inserted one of the batteries the other day there was a ‘pop’ and a burning smell from the charger and it wouldn’t work..no lights on, nothing, totally...
