Lithium Chargers

[ianripping]

Hi I have a Wisper 905 eco.
I want to get a sperate charger for work and don't really want oto pay the £95 for an original.
I can actually get an original from China from the manufacturer for much less.

I saw this on ebay and wondered if it would work - same spec as the charger supplied:

Anyone had experience / any understanding of these chargers?

does it have a jack plug on yours?

No mine is XLR

95gbp for a low power charger.. what a rip off

you can get one from Woosh for £25 inc postage, just ask Hatti for an XLR charger for their Gale.

Just called but they are out of stock for 6 weeks - thanks for the tip though!

I've been wanting a couple as well, Andy at Woosh told me the same. There's a charger drought people!!!!

Would the charger I find on ebay be ok though? It is a 'smart' charger - i.e. it will stop charging once battery is full.

I know Woosh use chargers from sans electronics, a good company.

You need to select 42V, 3-pin XLR, Sans

it's a bit more expensive but better.

That'll be fine.

Please be absolutely certain that the chargers are compatible, there is no problem with buying direct from China as long as the charger is the right one for the job. FYI we buy 1000's of chargers, visit the charger factory twice a year and pay a lot more then £25 for them. The incorrect charger can damage your battery and will be a fire risk.

All the best

I'm going to buy few chargers from them:

I asked for fanless and vibration proof chargers. They will be potted so I can fix it to my bike. It would be a bit more expensive, probably 40GBP each.

I know customs are going to hit me again, anyone wants to get 1 or 2? We can split the charges!
