Mergers again.

[finnbear270]

Been on charge since running external battery to flashing red 2%, before running on internal power.
Charging time at present is a total of 30 hours plus.
Onboard battery showing 87%, I am hoping it is the "Quality" charger this time, I really don't want trouble right next to February, if Mergers have to go back.

What problems are evident with these chargers?, seem to remember a comment or two.

Hi,
My ATN won’t charge or is extremely slow if the charger puts out less than 2 amps.
Makes a difference which socket I plug into.
This shouldn’t apply if using a dedicated charger.

About an hour ago I noticed the charger (Pulsar) was quite warm, where normally stays cool, batteries are now up to full inboard, & almost full outboard, seems these chargers are shall we say, A bit hit & miss.

I thought the internal battery was buggered on my Mergers. I had drained the battery completely. Took 2 day to recharge, works fine now

Disconcerting to say the least Eh?

I think and have told Pulsar the charges- cables are junk

They didnt care

Finn have you made sure you are using the plug supplied ?

It's the pulsar kit from out of their box.

F***'n sick of this cr+p gear, ........................................Anyone know of a reliable safe aftermarket charging unit

Try a mophie USB-C GaN charger.
Has 3 x 100w USB-C charging ports and 1x 12w USB charging post.

They are expensive, but they just..... work. I use them for all charging, phone, iPad, thermal etc

And while you are at it, get some decent cables. Sourced mine from eBay

Finn make sure you tell TJs the chargers are useless
I did and was told - nobody else has an issue !

Now where have I heard that statement before?, I know, Royal Fail.

When I had a Helion I proved the Pulsar charger and cable were bolox. I substituted a free short usb lead and used an iPad charger (12 watt 2.4 A ) and it solved the problem.

I was told by using none Pulsar kit it would void warranty

Pulsar charging equipment, I think I may have isolated the problem, I just pulled the C plug out of the USB adapter, & plugged the C into an apple C charging plug, batteries now happily flashing away.

I use a Belkin 30amp dual charger ,pulsars charger is a slug with a broken sliver in comparison.
And my Pulsar batteries for xq 50 used to do 2.5 to 3 hours now only 2 hours tops ,very frustrating.
