The product, in the report: MAHA MH-C401FS POWEREX Charger. This is a well made charger sold by a company in the United States The Numbers below the UL code are 00EG 1002 E230431 I have had this charger for several years, when I called the company It was not to try and get a new charger but to suggest that some sort of safety device is need (fusible link?) This is a good timer and I have ordered a new one just like it, but will put it on a timer before I ever use it
I put 4 rechargeable batteries in the charger, the red light came on per usual. After about 20 minutes I noticed a strong odor like hot wring can make, I picked up the charger , it was almost too hot to hold.
I tried to contact the manufacturer however they never bothered to return my phone call
If I hadn’t been home this would have caused a serious fire
