Hey everyone,
Quite excited to be on the site, and hope to gain ++ information from everyone here.
Yesterday I started tinkering on an old 12v battery charger i picked up in a pile of stuff from an auction. As soon as I opened it up, I noticed corroded connections and melted wires. I started replacing them with copper (rather than the aluminum it had) and upped it to 18g. my next piece as I was looking at it, has a steel plate with connections located. These are where the wires connect to. The bottom pair are intact with a small black ?resistor? and the top two are not there with some black arc noted on the plate. I pulled one of the little items out, but as much as I google it, I can't find out what it is, and where to get some. I stuck an ohm meter to it, but doesn't show any resistance.... Any tips? I'll post some more photos of the unit when I get a second. I'll try to get a pic of this little thing asap.
Thanks for your help in advance.
