Need Resistor from a FCU-HT08/18 18v Charger...or a way to tell what a replacement resistor should be.

Hey all,



Got asked to fix a "Fash Charger" FCU-HT/0818 18v battery charger.



Batterys wont charge, and took case appart, R2 is blown, and i cannot tell what the proper replacement is...



Is there a way to figure out the correct replacement, without a schematic or someone looking at a working model?

Why are you asking here, instead of a newsgroup where people might actually own and use that tool? This newsgroup is intended to help locate hard to source components, not for one off repair work.

You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.

If its for a NiCd pack, its probably burned the resistor due to shorted cells.

It may (or may not) help if we could see a photo of the PCB.

Otherwise you may have better luck posting to sci.electronics.repair.

IIRC, N_Cook once described how he was able to "guesstimate" the value of the resistor by measuring the resistance of the remnants.
