Default *Long* sad story - V Corsa reversed charger connections,

When I bought a charger, the instructions said "If you connect the leads
the wrong way round, an led will light".

Cool, thinks I, and tests it. LED lights for a microsecond. Back to the
instructions:

"and the fuse will blow"


LOL!

Whoops. I still needed to charge. So I stuck a piece of silver foil in
the fuse holder, connected it the right way round, and never left the
charger unattended....
