(ET) Charger Tripping Breaker

["Darryl McMahon" <darryl econogics com>]

My ET has developed an annoying new habit.  Once I plug it in to 
charge it on a 15-amp circuit, with either no other load, or less than 
2 amps of other loads, it will charge from about 1 to 5 minutes, 
then trip the household circuit breaker.  I have done this on 2 
different circuits, and they will both support charging my car, so I 
have to suspect the charger on the ET.

So, before I plow into the service manual and tear the charger 
apart, does this sound familiar to anyone?  What did you discover? 
I think Larry wrote recently he has not yet acquired an ET with a 
charger that was working correctly.  Should I dispense with this 
charger and look for a 36-volt charger second-hand from a golf-cart 
service place?  Time is rather precious just now, and charging 
using a 12-volt deep-cycle charger is rather tiresome - having to go 
through 3 charge cycles each time.
