Batt. charger mishap - flaw and repair

1'st Post! this is the format I prefer for techs.
single consumer complaints wellcome anytime

Product:
Ship n Shore automatic 12v charger
I belive from Walmart

Failure:
Dad towed the boat off with batt. charger
still hooked up power cord ripped out the back.

Design Flaw:
No cord restraint OR even a strain relief
wich are normally incorporated in a single
molded unit, also, wires thankfully, were
NOT soldered to the Xformer, Now this
could have been good or bad since Dad
only uses brand new tight cords. a solder connection
may have ripped the terminals off the Xformer
rendering the unit unrepairable!

Fix:
Simple, 4 screws,
TIED A KNOT FIRST! plugged the spade lugs
back in, Reassembled, elapsed time 5 Minutes!
 $30  Unit saved, dad was ready to pitch it...

plenty more, Please Post or comment

Intro

Hi,
I started this blog because I'm tired of poorly
designed and sloppily manufactured products.
I wanted to create a forum for discussion with
other techs for repair and modifications also consumers are wellcome to post issues they
have with any device, car, or household item
