i've just had a look at my mates van ,that had the same symptoms as you.
the fault was the "battery fuse" holder , burnt up, on the front of the light grey distribution panel , in your photo.
if you want to delve into the unit, to investigate, you need to remove the wooden pieces screwed at the back of the unit ,to enable the grey unit to tilt upwards to remove the front panel.
but first have a close look at the battery fuse holder, i think i remember his fuse was the 4th one down ,from the top, i managed to by-pass the fuse , and put an in-line one in its place.
theres also a cooling fan in there, as well

Can't speak specifically as don't know either company or the equipment, but manufacturers will often claim things are irreparable, because they offer no repair service themselves, that doesn't automatically mean that the equipment is truly irreparable! Problems with third party repairs is often custom made parts that are not available on the wider market and manufacturers refuse to supply, then it really is irreparable unless a compatible substitute can be used.
As an engineer, I've repaired countless things for myself that were 'irreparable'. It's often an economic thing, and at £150 new, that leaves little scope for economic fault finding (often slow and skilled labour intensive!) replacement of faulty parts, retesting (often a 'burn in' test where the equipment is run for some time under monitored test conditions), and signing off as a guaranteed repair.
Can't vouch for eBay man, but surrendering a faulty unit in exchange for a working one is pretty normal practice, it can allow a stock of working units to be shipped out immediately rather than literally repairing your unit which can take weeks. Much equipment has inherent weak points which are common failures, that can virtually eliminate the need for fault finding process which makes repair far more economical.
BTW, there is an outlet selling new units at a discount, only £135: https://www.outdoorbits.com/bca-ps276-bc-20a-battery-charger-p-5779.html . Can't vouch for them, or endorse them, but they are there!
