Quote from: Adams on November 09, 2022, 10:05:22 AMThanks to everyone for the solid information on this thread.  I finally tore into mine this morning and lucked out  - it has the replaceable 10 amp fuse.

The fuse is deeper in than I expected.  To get better access to the fuse I ended up pulling off the other side as well, loosened up the silicone holding the assembly in place and pushed the assembly out a bit.  I still cannot believe what a bad design this is.

But I had success - the battery is currently charging away!

Thanks everyone.

Adams, how did you loosen up the silicon? I can't get the battery to budge inside the casing. I replaced the 10A fuse awhile ago, successfully, but charging stopped again after a two month hiatus. I replaced the fuse, but the old one didn't appear burned out. Still not charging. Replace the other 40A? fuse? Try to jump the battery through the discharge port? At a loss and don't want to throw good $ after bad. Thanks.

I have similar problem: Radrover 6+; a year ago we blew the fuse (out of warranty), which I replaced, and worked fine. I didn't use it for two months this summer and when I returned, it wouldn't charge. I replaced the fuse again, although the old fuse didn't appear burned out, but still not charging. RR support says I have to buy a new battery. Feels like good money after bad. Anyone had luck jumping the non-charging battery somehow? I've seen a video of someone who charged a non-charging battery through the "discharge ports." Anyone tried this? Thanks for any reply or commiseration.
