Default Orion Touch Really Poor Quality Wire.

I bough an Orion Touch Charger when they first cam out, since then the Flex has deteriorated very quickly. It is always kept in its own box and the cable it put away very carefully. The outer Black flex has split in several places, as you can see from the photos.

I though no big its only a wire and I could shorten it anyhow, so I cut it to length and prepared to put a new plug on it, and much to my disgust the wire in the flex is thinner than servo wire(see Picture of normal lamp lead and orion wire on the right.)

Don't get me wrong I love the charge but for £120 wouldn't you have thought they could have used a good quality flex?

Im suprised that the charger could draw enough amps to charge the lipos.

Has anyone else had issues with this or similar?
