Charger’s front panel or enclosure is cracked or broken, but the unit still appears to function.

Safety: A cracked enclosure can allow water ingress and contact with live parts.

• Inspect crack location: If the crack is near cable entries or seams, assume water ingress risk.
• Switch off in severe cases: If internal components are visible, turn off the charger at the breaker and do not use it.
• Temporary weather protection: If the unit must remain outdoors until repair, shield it from direct rain without blocking ventilation (e.g., temporary canopy), but do not operate if safety is in doubt.
• Replace housing parts: A technician should replace the damaged front cover or enclosure parts and verify IP rating is restored.
