Lloyd90 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anyone had any trouble with their Lithium ion batteries ? Mine's fully charged but kept having problems last night with it suddenly losing power. After testing my lamp on a mates battery etc I'm pretty sure its the battery playing up. I'll try n explain what happened. There is the battery (part 1), then the plug that connect the battery to a cigarette charger style connector(part 2), which the lamp (Part 3) plugs into. Now when it was playing up, I was holding down the button that shows how much power is in the battery (part1) and it had all 5 lights (fully charger) , then as soon as I plugged the connector in (part2) without even having the lamp connected up, the battery wouldn't shows up any power bars (as if it was totally drained). Whilst out I thought perhaps the wiring in the lamp was going but after having a swap about of lamp, battery etc I'm pretty sure this is the problem, anyone had similar and got any ideas how to fix it ? Will replacing that connector sort it even ? Thanks for any help lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just checked mine and all is well with the connector plugged in. Changing the connector has to be the first step. Don't think this is your problem, but these are like the old NiFe batteries. They don't 'fade out' but 'cut out' so when the battery starts to indicate a low charge, they can cut out without warning.

Simon123 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Was it the connector that plugs the lamp into the battery ? How much was that pal ? We didn't repair the old one as it was apparently knackered!! Got a very good deal on the same battery by them though!! You'd be better off giving Deben a call!!
