Abstract

A charger for an electrical device (e.g., site light) includes a housing defining an interior cavity, and one or more openings formed in the housing. The one or more openings fluidly communicate the interior cavity with an exterior of the charger. A heat sink is at least partially disposed in the housing and operable to dissipate heat produced in the housing. A first portion of the heat sink is positioned within the interior cavity. A second portion of the heat sink is positioned in the one or more openings such that the heat sink is at least partially exposed to the exterior. The heat sink is in heat transfer relationship with components of charger electronics of the charger.
