“But the charger is waterproof. It has an IP rating.”
That’s what I’m often told.
Then I ask:
“Waterproof — or environment-proof?”
Moisture doesn’t rush in.
It enters slowly.
Typical entry points:
• Cable glands
• Inadequate sealing
• Condensation from temperature cycles
“So why did it fail months later?”
Because environmental damage is delayed.
→ IP ratings must match exposure, not budget.
