Glad your charger is smart again. The original 24v "semi-smart" charger we were using in the ForkenSwift before we got the "really smart" 3-stage 48v unit was only shutting off intermittently. I opened it up and saw a burned looking component. One of the EVDL members identified it and even sent me a link @ digikey for the replacement part - which I ordered & soldered in. Fixed it.
