Phantom 631 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Usually things like that are easy to find using Google However this one proved more of a challenge than most, closest I can suggest is get in touch with Deben themselves Details as follow ADDRESSDeben Group Industries Avocet House Wilford Bridge Road Melton Woodbridge Suffolk IP12 1RB T: 01394 387762 or via electronic coms at http://www.deben.com/contact.html It sounds to me that your battery may be on its way out (thats how my rechargable bats go when they're finished) Phantom Quote Link to post
dirtymudflap 0 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 cheers for that i have just emailed them i did google it but no luck. Quote Link to post
dirtymudflap 0 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 just looked at the battery it looks like 10 1.3ah AA batteries joined together i have 10 2.8ah AA batteries could i put them into a battery pack and connect this to the lamp. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Interesting thought that. What kind of bulb is it? Volts and Amps? There will be a max rating on it somewhere I should think. You also have to take into account the amount of current (amps) the bulb will draw and make sure that the cables and switch are capable of handling it, you dont want to be out and find your switch melting when you turn it on or your wires smoking do you? I used to be pretty good with solid state electronics when I was at school, but that was many many many moons ago and I cant access that part of the brain archives anymore There will be someone on here thats more knowledgable (see I cant even remember how to spell a times ) within a day or three to set you right I should imagine ATB Phantom Quote Link to post
ukhunter 114 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 just looked at the battery it looks like 10 1.3ah AA batteries joined together i have 10 2.8ah AA batteries could i put them into a battery pack and connect this to the lamp. the new atom pro its supplied with a 12V 2AH nickel metal hydride Batteries the older atom pro has 12V 3.2Ah battery pack by the sounds of it the metal hydride Batteries wont hold its charge so thats why charge light goes off you need a battery mate just bye a new 12v 3.2AH or 7Ah battery mate Quote Link to post
