    Good save on the charger, I only use Battery Tender brand myself. I'm digging the new pallet racking, and there's nothing like starting a job on a clean workbench. Cheers, my friend!

      Thanks Patrick! I think Battery Tenders are the best charger around and I can't wait to get the shop fully optimized with the racking. Thanks for watching my Friend! Cheers, 👍😁

    I have that exact charger and it is dead. Got rained on. I think I will tear it apart, nothing to loose but time.

      Heck yeah, Tear into it and check it out! Check your power cord connection. If it was damaged it may have burnt itself in two from the moisture. Thanks for watching and best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

    👍Orange wire nuts are good for that, no worries. Black and white make light and green to ground all year round.

      Hi Pete! Nice, I thought they were a little bigger than they should be, but I never have anything smaller on hand. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

    Thanks again Andy. I have a few battery tenders and with those most of my batteries last 8+ years.

      I think they are the best battery charger available! I have a few myself and only waited so long to fix this unit because I had another dual bank charger available. Have a great weekend my Friend! Cheers, 👍😁

      Thanks! I ran the math and it took me about 6 years to complete this simple task. Look out world I'm catching up on projects 🤣. Thanks for watching 👍😁

    I’ve always thought that the Battery Tender chargers were top of the line, but there seems to be a lot of people with dead ones or ones that won’t drop down to trickle mode, commenting on these repair videos

      The unit repaired in this video was my first Battery Tender product. I still use it to this day and I'm a firm believer in their technology. Maybe people encountering issues are not used to its super slow charge rate? Thanks for watching and 'Go team Battery Tender'! 👍😁

    Nice job with the repairs Andy! 🔧 You gave me a good laugh when you acted like it shocked you!! 🤣

      Thanks Zane! I try to have a little fun every once in a while. The metal case on this charger reminds me of the old metal cased power tools. Seemed like they always gave you a little jolt from a stray winding or wire! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

    Mine just quit working. The cords looks good. Did not find a fuse inside. I wound up ordering a new one. I would still like to fix this one. Maybe a capacitor bad?

    • @FlatThunder

      I'd carefully test power at the board with a multi-meter....I didn't visibly see my cord damaged until it shorted several times. It could be broken in a hard to see place. If it is getting power and it's not shorted to the case I would scrap it. I'm not well versed at diagnosing circuit boards. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

      @@FlatThunder I think I found the issue. There are 2 circuit boards end to end in the middle of the PCB. The one in back under the transformer in cracked in half. I am trying to find it online. I will see if I can replace it. I have ordered another anyway. This one would be a spare for the riding mower. I like tinkering so hey why not? ;-)
