IC3 Charger

Has anyone had any problems with their charger? Mine will make a grinding noise when i put the batteries in and will stop grinding a bit after i tap it 10-20 times... Just wondering what i can do to stop it from doing this.

I've got 2 of them bought a almost a year apart and they operate perfectly. Is anything loose inside? These chargers have a small fan inside that could be grinding on something loose.

If all else fails contact rayovac customer service, they have been pretty responsive to others with failed cells.

IC3 Charger noise

Actually, mine does the SAME thing. It sounds like it takes a moment to get fan blades RPM's up secondary to slipping or looseness. Who knows.....

my 2 cell charger does the same. it would make a high pitched noise for about 10 secs, then go away by itself.

my 4 cell doesn't make the fan noise.
