Husqvarna QC330 battery charger Failed - any ideas?

[Slad]

QC330 just stopped working.  Never leaves the house, sits in the corner, hardly used.  Now an orange paperweight.  Anyone know how to fix these?  Quite a few posts about Husqvarna chargers failing.  I wouldn't mind but they're stupid money.

How old is it, the date of manufacture will be on the back.

Mine did same under warranty - sent it to FR Jones for repair - think that's what made them go bust! Never got the charger back - was about £120 for a new one.

Had to replace mine recently. Only seen domestic use but out of warranty. Not longer after I had a battery die as well. Thought going electric would save money but the cost of replacing the charger & battery would have paid for a lot if 2 stroke. Not aware of any repair options.

Coming up 2 years.  Should last longer? 

 

How long did yours last before it went bang?

If I'm going to need a new charger every couple of years, I'm going back to 2 stroke!

 

There's a few youtube videos showing the bit t replace. Might try a fix.  Was hoping others on here have tried.  It's just a charger.

I had a charger and 200x battery die on me out of nowhere. Both were covered under warranty for me thankfully, but only just. I’ve got a few bits of husky battery kit and they’re good tools, but they’re built like toys. Ditto the batteries and chargers.

I hear a lot of issues regarding the 330 charger. I’ve had a 500 charger for 4 years now and used daily and never failed yet. Even the batteries have been fine.

Lots of videos on youtube about repairing the makita ones as there so common

 

 

Easy fixes might be possible for someone who knows how.....

The Husky battery kit is made of cheese - I’ll definitely not replace any of ours with more of the same. It is the least reliable ‘professional’ gear I’ve ever encountered.
