Well at least you got you some inductors and transistors and a phan. I'd feel bad except the price of the gizmo equaled 7 gallons of gasoline. Can you reeeeeeech under your bench and do a fast continuity on the full wave bridge? Easy to spot. The Cheapo-crew bent it to a 45 degree angle and there is nothing else on that board that even remotely resembles it. If it ain't blown then that will change things a lot on my end.
You'd love my 24-volt charging system. Over a thousand amps total charging potential which sucks the guts right out of the Kubota / Kato. No, I don't slap the batteries around with Al Capone grade force-feeding. Over here, I am limited to the BORG, some more Megas, some Meanwells and an assortment of Cheapos. The Cheapos are designated for LED duty. But I don't want the 22 dollar gizmos breaking when all that would be needed is a heat sink on the rectifier. They are doomed to play low voltage LED lighting on the house to gen shed trail of tears. Inside fruit jars no less. With IR sensing.
