Last year, I had a battery charger for a power tool that got fried.
Come to find out, there was a short in the battery, and it fried the AC Adapter. I went to Wal-Mart, and bought a better battery charger, one that wouldn't die when a battery shorts out. What is different between the cheap charger that comes with the power tool, etc., and the better charger that won't get toasted?
Are there other things that can fry a charger / adapter?
I now have another device, that did the same thing last night, I think.
It is a portable Jump Start Battery / Compressed Air. I left it charging over night, and today, the charger is DEAD.
Can I repair the charger?
Can I repair the Jump Start device?
Didn't see a similar post.
Thanks,
