    My CM did funny shit till I got a ups for it. Been running perfectly since. Might be coincidence though.

    I measured the output of the supply for my one, it puts out 14.3 volts with no load

    Funny you say that, just switched the selector up to 12v, plugged it in turned it on, no smoke or bang. counted down and beeped ready to go. hit the TRICKLE button and it works. set a load and hit dispense, away it went and trickled fine.......... did 20 times tipping powder back into hopper sweet as.

    So at this stage I may not be running it over with the ute.

    Baz did you check that your supply is actually supplying 9-10 v under load?
    Iv found volts drop with load pissing round with fast chargers.

    I would not be surprised if all these problem power supplies are switchmode and hf interference is coming down the DC line to the chargemaster. Might find the old style transformer power supplies do a better job.
