Hi I'd like to put up a post with regards to the Shimano steps system. I recently encountered a problem with a Shimano charger and battery. A few weeks ago I connected up my Battery EC-E6010 to the Shimano EC-E6000 charger, there were no LEDs indicating charging on the battery and no light on the charger. I checked the fuse on the charger which had blown, I replaced the fuse and disconnected the battery, and the fuse blew again. I ordered a new charger online and when the new charger arrived I was now able to charge the battery to full capacity. A week later when the battery was at approximately 20% capacity I tried to recharge the battery, however as before with the previous charger there were no charging LEDs or charger light, and as before I replaced the fuse but to no avail. The charger has been returned for replacement and I also purchased a new battery (waiting to be charged the first time)The battery with 20% charge still powers the bike ok. So I was wondering if anyone out there has had issues with failing chargers and what the causes were. I contacted Madison the main distributor for Shimano products here in the UK, but they could not shed any light on the issue.
