Each output can deliver 1A before output voltage drops, there is no overload protection.

And because they are in parallel the total output is also 1A.

I could draw 1A for 1 hour without any problems.
The temperature photos below are taken between 30 minutes and 60 minutes into the one hour test.

Temp2922

M1: 40,3°C, HS1: 47,7°C
HS1 must be the transformer.

Temp2923

M1: 44,6°C, M2: 47,6°C, HS1: 61,5°C

Temp2924

M1: 35,8°C, HS1: 45,9°C

Temp2925

M1: 45,1°C, HS1: 49,6°C
HS1 must be the transformer.

Temp2926

M1: 43,3°C, HS1: 76,0°C

10ohm

Noise at 0.5A load is 129mV rms and 670mVpp

5ohm

Noise at 1A load is 217mV rms and 1080mVpp





Tear down

DSC_4115

A hit with my mallet and it was open, nothing is glued together, it is only clips.

DSC_4116

There is a bridge rectifier hidden under the capacitor. The design uses two transistors and has a blue capacitor of 1000 volt type that will short when overvoltage is present (Very bad). There is also a opto coupler and a rectifier diode.

DSC_4119 DSC_4121

Here the markings on the blue capacitor can be seen and the bridge rectifier below the big capacitor.

DSC_4120

The two transistors are on this side of the circuit board.

DSC_4117

There is only a few resistors on the other side of the circuit board.

There is supposed to be about 6mm between low volt side and mains, here is only 1mm.

The charger failed a 2500 volt test and shorted between low volt side and mains, this makes the charger dangerous everywhere.


Conclusion

This charger has very bad safety, stay away.
