Reverse engineering of a chinese Li-Ion charger

Mechatrommer:
thats the stereotype ;D transformer is inherently an inductor (inrush limiter?) and i dont think primary will draw much more than 100mA. consider the whole thing as a fuse cheaper than brand name one. osc bjt can fail first, or the small transformer etc one way or the other. but the fuse with me here is resilient.

There is a small wavy PCB trace on the back, used as a PCB fuse I guess. I think it will blow with 500A, but still..

I am pretty sure in the proper ones the insulation does rely on the paper between the coils, differently from this one (check the video I linked).

Ah now I feel assured  ::)
I wonder what an insurance company will do when such a chinaquality device is the origin of a fire.
