Exploded Leica M charger - any similar experience?

[hasselbladfan]

My M8 stopped suddenly working last week. Since I didn't know if it was due to the cold at 10,000 feet, I gave my battery a new charge when back home.

It didn't work, so I went to a Leica dealer, who offered to recharge the battery himself to find out of if the issue was with my charger or with my battery.

He called me back to say that his charger EXPLODED.

Anybody else with similar experience before I call Leica.
