Check your charger plug

[AgileMike]

I heard some arcing coming from the charger so I took it apart. The white lead had some brown burn marks and all leads didn’t have enough copper exposed and one lead had a Phillips screw that wasn’t close to tight. Everyone should check their charger cables for sure. I had a non-working charger replaced by stark about 2 months ago and I’m 99pcr certain it will be the same issue when I take it apart.

I received a new revised plug from stark yesterday, I’ll share a photo of what they are sending out soon to customers. No details on how stark is distributing.

They were replacing my bricked adapter, which they sent already, but this photo is a third adapter they sent lol. So now I have two working adapters, one I use with my bike stand, and the other for transportation. Stark is awesome they just hook you up well.

That’s not correct for North America. Never would want to bond neutral to ground “that point in the schematic labeled “sys gnd”
Passing power via the ground point in an appliance is against NEC code cuz it can kill people. 120 volts is derived via a center tap of the 240 volt transmission line output transformer on the pole here in North America. The correct configuration is to leave that point in the schematic disconnected. The 240 to 120 adapter wud bond one of the hots inside the charge to the neutral wire in the 120 vac plug. And ground is always bonded to equipment chassis.
