Chris, you only want a new timer ? Think I've got an old one, no idea
what shape it's in.
Yeah, I really want an unused one. The problem is over the years those
contacts get burned and pitted. Then one of two things happen:
1) They stick closed on charge and your pack gets toasted
2) They arc open and generate enough heat to ignite the casing.
You might want to crack it open; it's just two screws and a bit of
patience. Watch how it comes apart; that helps a lot in getting it back
together.
Another thought is to have the switch control a relay.
