Malt 379 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Chuck it in the skip, it's probably got a dead cell now it's gone flat and wont be any good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fat-Ferret 857 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Its been on the charge since 2 this morning, and the red lights still on, I just plugged the lamp in and got a very faint beam from the bulb.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 How long has it been in the discharged state? maybe one of the cells has dried up, but not sure how you'd remedy it with a sealed lead acid battery. In my experience, once a SLA battery is f****d, it's f****d. End off. Time to turf it out and replace it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 It run dead last night and went straight onto the charger, its been there since, and when I checked it there now, theres a little bit of light in the bulb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
