Thanks for your reply
Funny you should mention a circuit diagram, sadly not supplied with the equipment , but i have made a note of all the specific active components so should be able to come up with a block diag.
The unit is a WE-030 A, i don't think very many sold , its UK made by water beach electronics.
I was also wondering of the unit is on constant standby but that might be crazy as the battery capacity is only about 4 hours continuous , so i think there is a drain somewhere. As you say capacitor / component across supply i will check that out. Perhaps a cap has developed a kind of semi short ?.
When i plug in the charger it seems to charge up the NiMh batteries fine.
I will check the running current too.
