Need replacement charger

[Jinker]

I have a defective charger and need a replacement. My model is the 4500 version and it "clicks" on and off before charging fails. Brought inside, plugged in charger for 30min prior to charging and it still failed. I purchased my bike used so no dealer support. Does anyone know where to purchase a replacement charger in the U.S.?

There was a very long thread on this topic early last year. Try warming the charger on your radiator and for good measure bring the bike indoors overnight. If that doesn't work, the charger is knackered. But the problem was with the 4500 version. I swapped mine out for the 4000 version and I had zero further problems.

Try Googling the information on the back of the charger to see what the manufacturer can do for you. Also to see if you can you buy a charger that delivers the same current and voltage requirements. Don't forget that a 4Amp charger works well too, just slightly slower than 4.5Amps

Used or not, a dealer should be willing to sell you a new one. Pro-tip: a dealer will also work on a bike not purchased from them.

I read through the entire thread regarding charging issues. I brought the bike and charger inside and allowed both to warm up to room temp before charging and it didn't help. I would like to obtain a 4A version but I'm not sure which dealer in the states can get Focus parts and accessories. I googled the derby charger info but couldn't locate one to purchase. I would be willing to try another brand charger with the appropriate input/output and connector. Can anyone recommend a dealer state side? Or any other solution.

This is the charger (4A) and since they can show the price in $, I assume they will ship to US.

I have bought a mech hanger from them, and it arrived in about a week, from Italy to Denmark.
