Trickle charger

Well, my Fiero was on a trickle charger.  Unfortunately, the trickle charger succumbed to the cold.  Anyone else experienced this?

Well, the charge circuit works, except that no power gets to it.  I suspect the diode that is all black is the problem.

I've never used a trickle charger on anything.  My chargers have both had 2, 12, and Start Assist settings.  Both of them also had automatic cutoff when the battery was fully charged.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers
