No more Tekin service
It looks like ExpressTech is done. I got this email last night from Jose Lopez, when I inquired about getting software upgrades to handle NiMH cells:
So much for my BC112As coming back to life...

I seruously doubt it. I've beek looking for someone to repair my BC112Cs for almost a year, and just when I found Jose he's closing up shop. Hell, if I could get the schematics, I could fix them myself, but no one seems to have them, or want to sell them if they do. The TSC432M on my boat will now be more carefully guarded than usual.

Can I use the power supply in the BC112C for another charger??? or is it just a paper weight now!??

If the charger will accept 24VDC, then yes. If you're ont sure, don't. The Tekin aux PS output was designed for other Tekin products, which were happy taking 24V as an input. Most of the stuff I've seen likes 12-15V. You've been warned...
