Hi all

I have a Hartenberger wreck Maxi dive torch - which is hid 14.4v NC/NMH and has a offshore II charger which will quick charge any Hartenberger torch from 6v-14.4v (5-12 cells) 2.0Ah-8Ah at 100-250v (47 Hz- 63Hz) , 30V DC max 1.8A , 600 - 300ma.
Thats what says on charger anyway ..

also the charger has two lights 1 says voltage ok, error, no voltage) , light 2 is charging light (quick, slow, trickle, no contact)

my fault on first light is coming on RED which is error so basically I cannot charge .
i have contacted Hartenberger and basically confusing email reply - but repairs are $125Euro or new charger is $145 euro. I am also in Australia and has to be sent to Germany which is very expensive postage and takes forever

So basically torch is 10 years old and if I can either repair it myself or get a replacement cheaper charger that will work would be great . Either happy to order online or have local electronics store here in Australia called Pretty sure has 12x (4/3FAU FDK) NMH 4.0Ah batteries ) 14.4v

Can an anyone recommend how to fix or a good replacement charger that will charge these type of batteries correctly .
thanks in advance
Mark


edit - please suggest a multi chemistry charger or similar that will charge the 14.4v battery
