Whenever I start charging the Leaf there's a loud noise (bang!) from the Blink. Is this normal? Does everyone hear it?

I scanned the posts but did not see any reference to such noise, so started wondering if it's an issue with my Blink - I couldn't find any reference in the blink docs either.
 
That would most likely be the contactor moving to the "close" position inside the Blink, which allows the juice to flow....
 
See, you're hanging around a forum that has a lot of geeks about. When we have a box that is going to switch 30 amps we kind of anticipate some monster relay like that will be inside it. That's why there's no mention of it :)
 
Thank you everyone - we feel better knowing this clunky sound is 'by design'.
