[1]-2. Replacing Varistor and Fuse

(1)If the cause of Battery charger trouble is the breakage of Varistor and Fuse, you need not replace Charging circuit, but simply replace Varistor and Fuse.

Sign of Varistor breakage:

Cracks exists in the surface of Varistor.

Cause of Varistor breakage:

Charger is plugged in a power source of two times or more than the rated voltage of Varistor.

Note: If Fuse has burned out meanwhile Varistor is not broken, something else in Charging circuit is probably causing the trouble. In this case, replace Charger circuit.
