    icharger failures, detail how your icharger failed

    Okay, back again (man, this is a saga, isn't it?). I finally bought, received, and installed the LM2587S - specifically, here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324069759884 Guess what? It worked. :shock: However, due to the existing damage that led the charger to being relegated to parts anyway (had...

    Holy crap, that is incredible. I'm going to buy one, then, and see if it powers my 3010b back up. If it does that, then it's a solution for the over-volt failures, at least (because putting the 3010b's original working reg into my 208b is what repaired it from an over-voltage event). Indeed, a...

    icharger failures, detail how your icharger failed

    Found this thread via Google, registered to share my findings as well! I have a 208B that had been a workhorse, never an issue. Actually I've been using it with a homebrew reverse E-bike generator, a 24v brushless motor fed to a home-made Schottky bridge rectifier, a big cap bank, then the...
