D_T's zip tie mess, err... mashup
on: July 07, 2018, 05:26:11 PM
I am sure this will not be approved by the local electricity board but I think it is perfectly safe :D

What happened: the charger to one of my booster battery packs got stuck between the car door and its jamb in a somewhat hurried packing action. Then I closed the door and realised it wouldn't. The plug integrated in the charger housing was shorn off.:rant:

Repairs involved a few lengths of heat shrink tube, some cabling, a mains plug, some solder, and four strategically placed zip ties which contrive to both hold the housing together and provide the requisite strain relief (as per code) on the cable :D

Works like a charm.

Should work great unless you try plugging it into another door jam.
