Confounded lamp charging brick just melted

In the office - when I get here I plug in my bike lamp battery, a Magicshine 900 lumen Lightset (Magicshine MJ-808), to get ready for my commute, it being dark these days and I have a 14 mile ride home, so half way there or so I turn on the lamp. I go to get coffee and return to my office to this mighty stink, a quick search finds the Magicshine charging brick almost glowing, melting and smoking. So I drop power and wait until it cooled, and unplugged it. Sure enough the plastic underneath is all melted.

Dang.

I hope there is enough juice in the battery to get me home. I bought it October 30 last year so maybe the warranty still holds.

Anyone else had any problems with this charger? Thoughts?

Cheers - Lawrence
