Did I Burn My Charger?

[kstar]

I have one of these chargers: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=32524

The other day the cables to one the battery connector fell out, I accidentally put it back the wrong way (short circuit). but i realized it really quick and unplugged the battery. Then I put it back the right way. After that it seams like it doesn't charge the battery anymore, the battery doesn't become hot like it used to. I took it apart but nothing seamed damaged.

Does it sound likely that I broke it when I plugged the battery in the wrong way?

Shorting the output terminals usually ends with a fried charger, even for just an instant.

does the charger have a fuse externally anywhere, perhaps on the the rear to protect against such things?.

i had a charger like that (although it only did one battery at a time)

left it on a slow charge over night and it just stopped working. never worked again.

i had only used it a few times too.

i guess you buy cheap, and you buy twice.

i could find no external fuse on mine, and could see no sign of damage internally.

Darn.

I'm afraid there was no fuse. I love this charger it's great to charge two batteries at once. It still charges one battery. Well it was cheap but I had it for over a yuear so I'll get another one just like it.

Thanks for your input.

I'd take the cover off and have a look first, ther may be a fuse inside ? - got to be worth 5 mins of your time.
