  • Anyone able to repair lipo charger?

    My charger is knacked that's 2nd one this year.
    It can't balance cell 2 keeps saying high voltage 4.45 .
    Tried different batts and using lipo checker cells are normal.
    It's a
    Fusion LX60B Charger.

    It depends on the fault. The chargers I've seen have a microcontroller inside. This often needs to be recalibrated. There may be an easy way that you can do yourself as on the icharger.

    I have a chargery charger that needed recal and the manufacturer did it for free. All I paid for was postage to China.

      Are you able to fix them? I sent my old one to you for bits, but this one is better so might be worth fixing.

          I did think of that but don't want to hassle him.

                  I can fix most things, but I have to work it out as I go, so it takes a while. Steve has the up to date experience and equipment. Your old charger can be fixed, but you didn't want it back. I was going to transplant the display into another charger. The main point I was making is that some chargers can be fixed by the owner, so long as they can measure the volts accurately.

                      You where right about the fault being the microcontroller.Yep I didn't what the old I was just glad you could get something out of it.
                      Just spoke to Logic rc who are the agents because it's over 12 months old there's no warranty and they said it's not a repair item.
                      But did offer a new one at cost price £39 plus post. Which is fair enough.

                          It's not true that there's no warranty over 1 year old. It depends on the item. Up to 6 years is mentioned in the Sale of Goods act. If it's one cell reading high then it is easy for the manufacturer to recalibrate. It is also easy for them to prevent access to the microcontroller without a full erase. The software is only useful for their own product, so they should make it available as a download.
                          £39.00 is a good offer though.

                          I am quite happy to look at any charger.
