How Can I Tell If My Lamp Is Charging?


Recommended Posts

It's a deban lamp and twin battery pack, the lamp turns on fine when plugged into the battery but its VERY flat, it's been on charge 10 hours so i took it off to see if it had any more charge in it to make sure its charging and it still seems very flat and dim, no better then it was when i put it on charge??

Is this because it needs more charge in it or is my charger not working?

 

The "Power" light on the charger come's on fine as well so there are no problems with the charger and the battery seems to be poweing the lamp fine so what could the problem be?

Please help

should be discharged and charged every 3 months when not being used, there should be a chart on the side of the box the shop fills in to prove this has been done

Quick update: the lamp finally looks like its charging afte a quick check its alot brighter then when it was when it went on charge

Every now and then I leave mine switched on in the boot on the way home to completely drain the battery, then I leave it plugged in for a full charge rather than the usual top up it usually gets.
