Anyone faced issues with the loose connector on charger side? Not only fails consistent electrical contact, there was burning smell with sparks.

I haven't but it sounds like maybe the female connector(part that plugs into your power supply) may be too open(causing a poor contact with the male part(pin) in your power supply. You could try(WITH CORD NOT PLUGGED IN) sticking something like a ice pick and bending the round metal part that makes contact with your power supply to make a smaller tighter circle. Don't make it too small that you can't fit the pin from your power supply in the plug, just a little may work. That or if you haven't had it very long, call saying the one you got is defective. Things like this cord are very cheap and probably not tested as well as they should be, the sparking/arcing is caused by a intermittent poor connection. Probably not a fire risk but it could cause your power supply to fail prematurely.

Sorry you got a bad one. Mine works perfectly. Hopefully you can get a replacement.

I'm in the same boat, worked great then (just like every other lightning cable) it started coming apart near the 8 pin plug and is now not working at all.

try replacing the USB cigarette adapter with a different one - sometimes, car USB adapters can be problematic.

Jumping on this one... similar problem... charger dropped but the RED wire came off of the 2/12/75 switch... can you comment on where THAT one goes? Thanks....

Yes, but mine became very hot and popped out of the wall. It smelled like it was melting. My electronics were not damaged thankfully. I had a large charging strip with me. I always use it, but it is very bulky. Hope you have better luck. This is very small, but mine had to be trashed.

I heard that was an issue with others but I never had the problem. I was always careful to be very when plugging the charger in.

Did you stick the charger to it? They're magnetic, so i think they have to be in contact while charging. If you did, then you just might have a defective product.

I did. I had to close the terminals in the plugs to make sure they kept a solid connection. I also noticed an issue with the turn signals when the temp gets below 45 degrees f. I wrapped the circuit box with insulation and foil tape and haven't had any other problems.

I have the same cart and think you have to disconnect the onboard computer to use the round connector. I just wired in their quick connector directly to the batteries under the seat and it worked fine for a while and then the connector melted. I am now connecting it with the battery clamps included in the package. It charges fine but has trouble cutting off at a full charge. I think this charger may fall in the category of you get what you pay for.

Do not leave it connected to the charger when you are not using it. If that is not it then contact Stanley..........

I found the same to be the issue I had as well as the charging connect becoming loose. If you just received the camera I would try to return it. The one I had worked for two months then it stopped. I caulked it up to lesson leaned

I should mention. Ihad to re solder the electrical on the phone end. It wasn't a big deal since I was familiar with soldering. I wouldn't let that stop you though. This is a fast, great charger. If you have an issue, any phone repair shop should fix it permanently for probably relatively cheap.

My charger makes a similar clicking sound in the float mode, which appears to be its normal cycling process. It's holding my batteries at 13.3 volts which is near ideal and is apparently not over-charging.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE A SOLUTION!! Put the nose of the batter in at a DOWNWARDS ANGLE. catching just the front hooks to secure in place. Charger then recognizes it. the problem is the connectors are two short for the battery. if you put the battery in at a angle, works perfectly fine.

It may, it's happening to mine right now but it hasn't completely pulled out yet. The charge port seems to come out about a mm when I remove the charger. I've even been extra careful to not pull it off firmly and it's still starting. It's not Magnector's fault - Sony definitely didn't make sure their port was attached well - Supposedly it's just a bit of glue holding it in.

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

I am starting to have problems too, my computer is getting over heated and shuts down. As to your case, how long have you left it on the charger without usage?
