Have only been charging a bit this winter since I put my TS away in October (too cold to run in the winters here in Sweden)

The charger has been in the garage together with the moped (indoors and some plus degrees), now in February I thought to recharge the battery, the alarm seems to discharge it in a couple of months.

When I applied the charger to 220volt the 10A fuse went in the fusebox!
Tried a couple of times, same thing! the charger worked flawlessly until the last charge.
Picked off both ends of the charger chassie but see no burned components or anything.
Just to buy a new one for 199€! No one more with this experience?

if your bike is still under warranty, you shouldn't have to buy a new one

 

... could be a fuse blown in the charger itself, but cant remember if the charger can be opened to change the fuse without voiding the warranty (just check the screws for a sticker or blob of resin to prevent it being opened)

(i'm i'm assuming you checked the plugs fuse already - i have never opened the charger, but i would expect there to be a fuse in there somewhere too)

No warranty left, was 12 months on the charger here in Sweden (3 months on the battery..), my moped is two years old in May ..
Had a fuse burned in the charger then some circuit would have been open, not closed so it could burn a fuse in the house, but something is short-circuited in the charger, possibly the NTC or some thermistor. 

Have opened and checked in the charger from both ends, the circuit board is fixed or glued so I could not squeeze it out, but nothing visually damaged among the components, however, see no fuse either.

I got a charger but its a faster charger than original. It needs to be connected by the cable going to the external charge port. This extension cable is included se left in the photo. So you only change the "external port" to a XLR male(included) and the charger is XLR female. The external charge port will just be disconnected. Are you in Gothenburg?
