Can someone please tell me what is on their 240v charger for their hot water unit, I have several chargers for different appliances and have mixed them up. I tried them all and each does not do what the book says it should. Can someone please tell me also what the light doeas when charging, and roughly how long to charge. Thanks for any help.

Hi Reddog,
bugger, just went to look for it and it was with 2 others, I think it has a funny large G then NCE, do you have one like that?
When plugged in the bootom LED (Recharging) comes on took probably 20 hours.

Too quick for me Keith - raced out to the garage to get the charger and all the info was already here when I got back.
And it's all the same info.
Don't forget to keep it charged up Red, nothing worse than running out of power on a cold night, standing there all wet and lathered up.

Thanks guys I thought it was that one but when plugged in it does nothing. The 12 volt charger puts the led on but nothing with the 240 volt, must be broke, will have to take it back to kmart . Just used it for 6 days and as others say they are a very good unit, one cylinder lasted for 5 nights and low battery came on last night, but hadnt been charged since bought in april

Slightly OT but has anyone used the coupler to refill the small gas canisters?
If so is it worthy the effort?

Got one from the US as
well, used it probably a dozen times on the 3 cylinders I have. Works
well, just have some common sense when filling and
check for leaks after.

Unreal Reddog,
I was going to ask the exact same question just the other day (and forgot) as i haven't used
mine for around 9 months and the battery still worked!
I must sort through my assortment of power packs and work out which one goes with the coleman system now that i know which 6v one to use :-)

I have found the 240V charger charges much quicker than the 12V one. After some testing I found the charging rate is about 3 times more on 240v than 12v, the 12 volt will charge but if you have the option use the 240v
