[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1532658, member: 27848"] Get an electrician, or an electrical savvy person to build you a box with a 115v, 1:1 isolation transformer between your power source and your charger. The isolation transformer will not let the GFCI know that your charger is operating with ground current. Water resistant suitable box with a duplex plug mounted to receive your charger's plug and a similar plug on a wire to plug into where you had your charger plugged. Transformer would require slightly higher wattage (what 20 watts if that... haven't checked lately) than the consumption wattage of your charger. Read the specks on your charger then Google the wording and should get lots of answers....Radio Shack used to sell such....haven't been in their stores in years so I don't know what they are selling these days. The other thing that happens with the transformer is that your charger is now disconnected from the electrical utility so in effect IT Becomes your GFCI of sorts....you can only get whacked with what it can produce if the situation arises, not what the power company can supply......yeah they hurt even if they don't supply the power to kill you......200 ma for heart defibrillation and death as I recall.
