the main capacitor fails 4uf at 450 volts is required and sometimes the mini fuse fails 1Amp and also the switching transistor which is a MJE13001 device can fail.

It seems that the electro filter capacitor in the charger dropped its bundle causing the emitter resistor in the oscillator for the coil to overheat and burn out. When the parts arrived and were fitted it was dis-appointing to find the charger would still not work, but a check of the transistor with the component tester revealed that its pins were BEC instead of ECB like the original! I liked the product so much that I sought out a replacement battery, of trusted pedigree, the battery details are as follows Branded as Master Instruments Mod TB-144301C065. The torch function is great for those 'routing around in the dark; trying-to-find-your-phone-charger moments' when you don't want to disrupt your household, and, it's great for the little-ones who can grab the torch to do their exploring! As a coincidence, the Aldi catalogue arrived in the letterbox the next day and I was surprised to see these same units on sale!I did replace the resistor with a much higher rated one which got too hot to touch so I replaced the transistor which also got hot. If you Google DLG 14430 you will see a good image of the battery, you will notice that it is made in Japan and not the great land to its North. I bought one of these a few years back to use in my garage - immediate light before switching on the mains lights ! It might be an idea to put 2 capacitors in parallel to improve reliability as 8uF will not affect operation. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging .

The inductor has a ferrite ring 'side-on' in the coil former to improve magnetic coupling with a similar 'secondary' coil in the torch.

I am reluctant to try various values as the charger circuit is at potentially mains voltage and the value is probably quite critical due to significant load changes when the torch unit is removed and replaced.
