charger goes bang

[stevieb]

hi
had an unfortunate incident with my charger .
it got wet from water driping on it without me realising it and blew when i switched it on.
fortunateley it wasn,t connected to the battery.
i have replaced the internal fuse that had blown but still no luck and spotted a horrible black mark on the circuit board.
to say i,m gutted is an understatement
this is my main means of transport now.
my kit is an alien ocean 36v 250watt
i have emailed bigroy who dealt with these kits origonaly
but meantime can anyone tell me where i can buy a new charger.
i remember when i first joined this forum that someone pointed out a supplier of spares for my kit but i can,t find the thread about this.
thanks in advance
stevie

thank you for that link
i have contacted kudos who have requested a photo of my charger so they can see if they can help.
i have emailed them one so fingers crossed.

That's a standard 36v lithium charger. Any charger with a charge voltage of 42v and a current of around 2 amps will do. This one will be OK. Specify the connector as Coax Frog type:

thanks for that
the link was helpful
do you know of a uk supplier?

 

[stevieb]

or is there any of the companies on here able to help out ?
spotted a picture of a charger from woosh which looks the same
thanks

yes, woosh have them. Ask Hatti for a charger for their Sirocco.
