Notes

A portable Level 1 charger used for overnight charging from a standard outlet. Repair makes sense if the unit is relatively new and the issue is limited to the cord/handle or a replaceable internal protection component.

Replace when charging becomes intermittent, the handle overheats, or faults recur after repair, especially if the unit lives in harsh outdoor conditions.
