Husqvarna QC330 battery charger Failed - any ideas?

[jfc]

The tools (540i and 2x hedgecutters) I have are great when working, but have had more issues than petrol stuff. In 4yrs of professional use 1 charger died, long reach hedge cutter repaired once under warranty and once outside warranty.At the moment for me the Pros out weighs the Cons, so happy to continue with battery stuff.

 

Hopefully the longevity will be improved! Maybe someone from Husqvarna will address this.

Little or no warning battery stuff is going to let you down. Like a light bulb, generally it either works or it doesn't. At least with petrol stuff you have a sense something my well be wrong an can be dealt with before hand

My mates' QC500 charger got hot and stopped working so he took it apart and found the cooling fan was stuck. He fiddled with it and freed it up and it works fine now. My QC500 got hot and stopped working but was under warranty so I sent it back. Seems to be a common fault with them which can be easy to fix but shouldn't have to be as they are not cheap. Poor design fault from a normally reliable brand.

Shouldn't they be getting them all back/making a better one?  Given the price.

 

ONline, one of the youtubes shows a straight replacement for one of the diodes.  I might try that. worth a go for a fiver.

 

I wonder many people have had this happen.  Maybe worth a poll? They shouldn't still be selling them if they keep breaking.
