[C320-list] Freedom 20 failure

[Jeff Smith]

To add to this,

I had a static discharge from a lightning strike that zapped my charger. I HAD a Newmar 30 amp that has a high output fuse. I spent $30 and seven weeks waiting on this fuse from China. The old fuse was bad; the new fuse was good. Charger did not work.

I would replace it with a new charger that will extend your battery life. I regret waiting to replace my, for what it is worth.

You need to disconnect the battery and check the output. If you are not getting any output voltage, there are a couple of internal fuses. If they are good, it’s probably time to look for a new charger.
