Charger enclosure is cracked, warped, or physically damaged, but it still appears to function.

Safety first: Physical damage can compromise insulation and weather sealing. Do not ignore cracks in an outdoor installation.

• 1. Assess damage:
  • Check whether cracks expose internal components or wiring.
  • Look for gaps around cable entry and mounting points.
• 2. Temporary protection:
  • If minor and indoors, you may temporarily shield the unit from dust, but avoid sealing vents.
• 3. Replace housing:
  • For significant cracks or any outdoor unit, replace the enclosure or entire charger to maintain the IP rating and safety.

Do not operate a severely damaged enclosure, especially in wet environments.
