I was given Radio Shack RC Truck, pretty fun, but the problem is, the
cahrger only charges when it feels like it. When I first got it, the
charger wouldnt charge, it would turn on, and then shut off after
about a minute, then it fixed itself, and i came to the conclusion
that it "cycled" it seems like it turns on for a little while then
shuts off, comes back on. (To keep the battery from overheating?) It
is a "Radio Shack ac-dc fast charger" and a 7.2V 1700Mah battery. I
dont get, it. Now i try to charge, the light comes on for about 1
minute and then nothing. It never comes back on, the fuse is good. So
it can be that. Any suggestions? Im gonna take the charger apart and
see if there is anything obviously wrong with it.
I know it isnt charging because the battery never gets warm either.
