Hello all,
I recently purchased a different PS (Bulldog RDC-30-VO) because my Dynamite PS had only one output and I wanted to run both my Thunder Power 610C and 1010C chargers simultaneously. Both of my chargers are now reporting a voltage error and/or a polarity error when I try charging when they are plugged into the PS. The PS has two outputs and neither work for either charger.
Now this PS is new to me, but was purchased used and I never had issues with either charger before plugging them into this PS. Unfortunately, when I got the charger, I never tested it beyond plugging it in and seeing that the chargers came on. In addition, I have since sold my Dynamite PS so I can't see if the chargers are still working on it.
I have a few questions:
1) I have been able to find the
Rivergate Distribution website, but it makes no mention of repair options. Anyone know of a company or individual I can potentially hire to evaluate and fix the unit?
2) Is it worth repairing? It was an expensive purchase (as far as used PSs go) and it is a Bulldog so it should be a good PS. However it is heavy and would likely cost at least $15 for just return shipping. Assuming even $50 for parts and labor, that is $65 minimum.
3) Is it possible I am doing something silly? Why would the charger get enough power to turn on, but not enough to charge anything? In terms of required power to charge, which is important the voltage or the amperes? Is there a way for me to check how many amps and how much voltage is being delivered on each output channel?
4) Is there a power supply out there that would allow me to run both chargers simultaneously?
Thanks a lot.
