Hi I recently bought a 12v charger for my van to charge my e-bike from the leisure battery (bought from the UK dealer specifically for this bike) when not plugged into a mains EHU. I plugged the charger into a 12v cigarette lighter style socket connected to leisure battery and a green light came on showing the socket was working. When I plugged the other end into the bike battery, the light went out and I appear to have blown the 7.5A fuse. I'm hoping someone with better electrical knowledge or experience of doing this can offer some advice e.g. do I need a bigger fuse? Is there an initial surge current that the fuse must cope with?
The spec on back of the chargers says:
Input DC 12-28v 100w
Output DC 42.0v 2.0a
LED:green <= 0.2a
Any ideas much appreciated. Cheers all.
