Hi all,

I think my Dirt Dog's Charging unit is shot. The power supply is fine and does not fluctuate. The power led goes to green within 5-10 minutes of pluging in. Then the Dirt Dog runs for about 5 seconds and shuts off. If I move the battery to a good discovery, it works just fine after charging up, so I don't think its the battery.

Does anyone know if it uses the same circuit as the Discovery models? I ordered the MOSFET chips recommended for fixing the Dicovery model charging circuit, but now that my Dirt Dog is not charging its battery, I would like to replace the MOSFETs in this one too.

Any thoughts?

From an engineering standpoint, the charging circuit should be identical.
