Lloyd90 509 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 post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Break in part 2 causing a short? Did you try it with your mates part 2? Quote Link to post
Lloyd90 509 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Break in part 2 causing a short? Did you try it with your mates part 2? He has a different battery so I couldn't try that specific part. HOWEVER, My lamp worked fine on his battery, and his lamp would not work on mine, so like I said it's the battery. I would buy a new connector (part 2) but I don't want to buy one if that's not the problem as it would be a waste! Thanks for your input Quote Link to post
pengelli 365 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 hi mate carefully unscrew the cigarette socket part and see if the solder is broken or anything touching the casing wire ect think your batterys detecting a short circuit and is cutting out if it is the solder its easy to fix but remember to solder it the way it was as one wire is live and one is neutral hope this helps Quote Link to post
Bulletboomboy 0 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Yes I've had the wire break right at the solder joint and it would get really hot before it broke. Quote Link to post
