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
ok interesting, I have a selectable V setting on my power pack, I will try 12v before I run it over then. either fry it or fix it.
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.
here's my solution to the chargemaster problems
seemed to fix it for us

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.
"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
I have just got a power pack for mine that you can adjust the voltage on,was having the same problem with it not trickling.Put it on 12v and its a whole new beast
Just saw this. Could be of some help?

Baz, Im in Hamilton and have a Chargemaster too, Ive had ZERO problems with mine, If you would like to bring it around and use the factory power pack to try your more than welcome.
Just PM me if you want.
Just dont kill it yet!

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.
I've just used mine - EVERYONE else has had it in the last 2 years LOL
Power supply is a Uniden Cordless Phone pack 9v 210mA - still working mint
