Seems that one of my zantrax truecharge 40+ chargers has decided to take a break.

Manual troubleshooting guide lists "Open Fuses in Charger" as a possible cause and suggests taking it to a qualified service person.

Would that be me? What are the fuses like inside? Will I bring an end to the earth as we know it if I open it up without proper certifications?

Thnx!

There are two fuses in the lower right corner of the TrueCharge 2 40+. I doubt you'll find them blown. I have had many of these chargers pack it in and none of them had blown fuses. I've got one apart on my bench right now and I can snap a pic lalter of the fuse location...

Got a recco for a drop in replacement?

I have 2 of the same units and my honda 2k can just keep them both going. So I dont want to go bigger. And I have it fit into a spot where any bigger will be a problem. (BTW, not in the engine room)
