How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: A damaged enclosure can allow moisture ingress and contact with live parts. Treat as a serious safety issue.

  • 1. Stop using the charger:
    • Unplug from mains and vehicle.
  • 2. Inspect damage:
    • Identify any cracks, gaps, or loose seals, especially around cable entries and joints.
  • 3. Do not attempt glue or tape repairs:
    • Ad-hoc sealing will not restore the original IP rating or mechanical strength.
  • 4. Contact NRGkick support:
    • Provide photos of the damage; the housing or entire unit may need replacement.
