The fuses are blowing on the AC side. It's not happening as soon as I plug it in (now that I'm using the slow-blow fuses). It's also not happening consistently, so I assume it's hitting some sort of surge to pop them.

I've never seen them blow, it's always been the case that I plug in, then come back some time later and see it's not charging.

I do have a Kill-A-Watt Unit. I measured it previously, and it was pulling around 60-70w, IIRC, but that was before I took the wall wart out of the equation and added in the RS-25-12 to power the pack fan and 120mm charger fan at 12v.

Maybe the addition of those two items should push me up to a bigger fuse? I've got one more of them left, so I'm going to keep using a surge protector, and if I blow another, I'll step it up. Should I go 1.5 or 2A?
