I am 100% dependent on my bike for transportation and my charger bailed on me last night.
It is Fuyuang "switching power supply" model: FY4502500. Input 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 2A. Output: 45VDC 2.5A, with led going green <300mA. This provides power for my crystalyte 408/4011 running with 36V 10/Ah battery.
When I plug the charger in there is a noticeable clicking noise that wasn't there before, the led does not light and a volt meter shows no current on the discharge. Upon removing the cover there is a burnt odor. inside the plastic cover there is an additional metal two piece casing that is soldered to the perimeter of the board not allow clear visual of the components.
I am desperate to have my bike back on the road ASAP (yesterday)LOL. Having difficulty locating a charger putting out the 45 volts. Really don't want to limit to 36V if the system handles the 45. Think my cutoff is not far below that and already have restrictions for my needs at the 45V charge. Eventually I will upgrade to 48/20 or 60/20 unless I learn enough to build my own where I would likely end up somewhere in between. Unfortunately that's a little down the road due to budget.
My questions
Does anyone think this may be a fixable issue?
If I purchase a 48V charger, will the BMS prevent over charging past the previous 45V?
Where can I get another 45VDC charger without depending on lengthy shipping periods from China. (without spending a fortune too)
Is there an alternative method of getting charge into the batt until a replacement arrives?
As I mentioned I am dependent on this bike as primary transportation averaging approx. 125 miles weekly. It's served me very well racking up in excess of 4000 miles in past months,My fault for not planning better for a situation like this, but now I'm stuck and need to find a way ASAP.
