[dumper]

Go down the fit for purpose route with trading standards won’t cost anything 

professional charger should last longer

had same problem with makita chargers failing just out of warranty got both replaced

There is an internal non replaceable fuse in these things, if it is only 14 months old take it back to where you purchased it from, it should last a lot longer than than, let us know how you get on.

When you say "non replaceable".....how non replaceable is it? How about soldering in a fuse holder....?? I know what I would do

Don’t laugh, but I did that, switched the bloody thing on, it went bang, knocked the lights out, and sat smouldering on the bench, get it back to a dealer.

That's what you call learning, a sh$t or bust fix, at least you gave it a go!

Regardless of the manufacture date, the warranty runs for 12 months from the date of sale, there is also some good will if it only a few months beyond that, a well written letter may work wonders.

So the fuse blew to protect the upstream cabling but was caused by a downstream fault which replacing the fuse did not fix.

Yes, I just thought it may had been a power surge , or been dropped causing the fuse to blow, how wrong I was.

Just a quick update - Husqvarna have replaced the charger after seeing this post (eyes everywhere apparently!). 
Thank you Husky - much appreciated!

I believe that Father Christmas, the Christmas Fairies and the Reindeers have left Stihl and taken residence at Husqvarna Sweden hence the very positive result. I also believe that one of Santas helpers is a member on here

Good result and thanks for the update.
