Make sure that the cables going to the charge plug got hooked up correctly when new batteries were installed.

Tall charger (one foot tall roughly), or short charger with fan on the back?

Blown caps. That is the common failure with that charger. There are four big ones and they tend to fail and rupture.

Yeah, but also look carefully at the mosfets on the heatsink inside (they are in these Grey rubber boots), look at the bottom of the boots & board below for smoke trails.
