Charger Cable

13 October 2020, 01:33 UTC

Hi there. The short part of my charger (that plugs into the transformer box) has a cut in it and sparked and needs to be replaced. Is there anywhere to buy just that part of the charger? Don't feel like paying $200 for an entire new charger. This is for a OneWheel+.

Thanks

depending on where the cut is, you might be able to just strip the wires and use twist cable connectors and electrical tape and fix it yourself...

@kurtisblo the AC cable from the wall socket to the transformer is a std cable. Lots of printers and other random stuff use them. Look around your house to find a replacement.

If its the DC cable from the transformer to the plus, just cut it at the break and reconnect properly with a connector or joint. Any auto shop will have something.

Same thing here, I found an old DVD player power cord that just needed a small modification on the fitting with a razor blade on the female plug that connects into the charger - been working great for a few months.

Bingo. Thanks guys. I used an old cable from an Apple Airport Extreme and seems to work great.

I have an old AppleTV cord on standby when needed for this exact thing... Charge ON!
