Finn Bjerke Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 My beloved Kingsong s22 will not charge unless I use Inmotion charger. The cable leading OUT on original charger seems to selfdestruct. The embrittled output cable is hardened and fragile. I have read here (on the serious EUC forum) that other ppl have charger problems, but for other reasons. Have anyone else experienced "bad plastic" on output cable?

My early batch original charger going strong, no problems, maybe it's a QC issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okvp Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) My s22 charger died, got new one as a warranty replacement from dealer. Patton has the same charger and what I have read V13 charger also comes from same supplier. The charger seems to have quite high failure rate. One thing which may help prevent charger from dying, is to connect it right way first plug to the wheel and after that to the wall and opposite way when disconnecting. However I haven't notice anything wrong with the cord. Edited December 2, 2023 by okvp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless it's not why people have faulty chargers, most likely it's varied QC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that discharge is possible if there are not diods preventing current flow to wrong direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
