I got one of these from RS which managed to charge the battery pack once before dying. I'm not sure if it was because the unit was faulty or I overloaded it!! I can't take it back because I had to modify it due to the funny connector on the battery pack.

The battery pack is 12v, has 10 ni-cad sub-c cells at 1800mAh each.

The charger I got should be able to go upto 6.6Ah which should charge a 1800mAh pack....shouldn't it....or do you have to add all the 1800mAh's up

I don't know...I'm lost

Is there anyone who understands these things. Did I get the correct charger and it was faulty or did I get the wrong charger and blow it up?

I could get a direct replacment from Birchley but it means sending off a cheque...blah blah.. and I'm far too lazy to do that. I'd rather just order something from RS.

thanks
Dan
