Guest onboard charger

[Richard Marriner]

Hello guys (& gals)



The fuse connectors on my guest charger are really loose and we have to "wiggle" them to get them to make a good connection. Would it be a good idea switch the fuses to the rectangular automotive type?



The reason I was thinking of switching to that type is because we have had a hard time finding the 9amp SFE fuses that are currently in it. (We had a bad battery so it kept blowing fuses). Along those same lines, I've never seen a 9amp rectangular fuse either, so would I be able to use a 10amp.



I know that using a larger rated fuse is never really a good idea however, I was looking at the manual online but didn't find anything in the manual regarding what size fuse it should be. I found a larger (more amperage) model charger that the manual did suggest using a 15amp fuse. So I was a little confused.



My model type is the 2607A, the Guest website shows it as a 6amp 2 bank charger, however our charger says it's an 8amp 2 bank charger on the label...



Any suggestions, tips??



Thanks guys! It's really appreciated.

You can switch the fuses and holders if you want. I suggest calling customer service first and asking if they have any spares that they can send.

Thanks Sue, I'll give them a call.



cqbaker, thanks for the link. If Guest sends me replacement couplers and we stick with the SFE fuses it will come in handy!



Thanks.
