Battery Charger Problems

[Racer 1966]

I was planning on taking my son to the track for some practice and fun today but that got thrown in the crapper. My battery charger went belly up AGAIN! What the ___

Originally I was using a Venom Pro charger. Then one day I went to charge a LiPo battery for my son and charged a few seconds then stopped. When trying to charge again it would do the battery check then flash the start up Venom Pro Charger screen and then just sit there. I could adjust all of the setting but it made no difference,it wouldn't charge.

Now I have a Team Orion Clubman LiPo Edition. I started charging a LiPo again today. It charged for maybe 20 min when I checked it and was still charging fine. I checked back again a few minutes later and it was off. I reconnected and checked the plug in and came back on. Now when I try to charge a battery it too does the battery check then flashes the start up screen. Again I can change adjustments but it won't charge any type of battery.

Now I'm ticked off for 2 reasons,one because it has a problem and two,Venom replaced the other under warranty but I need $$$ for Dr. bills so I just sold it last week

Anyone have any idea as to what's happening to my chargers?

My first thought is power supply issues.

That's the first thing I thought of too when I just read this.

They used different supply's,what should I check for?

Just make sure the suppllies aren't kicking out and giving the correct amount of curent.

I'll do some checking then and see if I can fault anything there.

Thanks

I have a Venom Pro charger also, and i found that that that the connector power adapter was coming loose I had to re solider the connector back on.
