Hi guys
I was watching a youtube video where someone was adjust the potentiometer adjusters inside their battery charger to increase voltage rather than paying more for a higher voltage rated charger. I opened my 72V charger up and noticed 88V stamped
So since I have a 20s pack, I increased the voltage to around 82V. I failed to notice that the charging amps of the charger was rated 4A, and I stupidly turned up that pot adjuster to 6.5A. 20 min. later of charging, I heard a pop and the charger turned off and no longer works. Buying another one isnt a problem, just wondering if the damage is commonly repairable or off to the garbage heap??
Thanks
