Charging strobes

[Bent C]

I have two DS 125 strobes. Both are three to four years old and I have done app 400 dives with them. Recently charging of the batteries has been a problem. The red light on the chargers only goes on after quite a bit of fiddling with the connector that goes into the battery pack. Also the charging is often interupted well before the batteries are fully charged. When they are fully charged, on the other hand, they seem to be working well. So do you know what is wrong and how I can fix the problem?

Best regards

It sounds like it's a charger problem. If you have access to a second charger I would recommend trying that to confirm that a different charger solves the issue. If so, you could request a replacement charger plug #0083.75 through your local distributor.

Well, I have two chargers and both are not very good. One seems to be slightly better than the other though, so that indicates that there should be something wrong with the charger. I will try to find another charger and test it.

Thanks
