Gad! I feel so stupid.
This day started out really well. I did one of my favorite rides in the country. I usually average 13-15 mph, on my roadbike these days. On my new e-bike

I went 45.8 miles, 20.3 mph average, 10.2Wh/mi. I was so happy!
I have a 36 volt, 30 amp Ping pack, and a 5 amp charger..make that had.
I had joined the Powerpole connectors so the red and black connectors would be on opposite sides for the charger and the controller...pretty obvious difference...I thought. Even though I have charged the pack 4-5 times before, I attempted to plug the charger into the output cables of the battery, instead of the charge cables....backwards. :-(
The charger wasn't plugged into the wall yet. The connectors arced pretty good. The 30 amp fuse in the positive line for the pack never blew, but the glass fuse in the charger did. I put a new fuse in, and plugged it up. The red LED lite, but no orange LED, and no fan. The Kill-A-Watt meter, I run the charger through, showed no current flow. I opened it up, but I see no discolored components. I don't know where to start. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Warren
