socks 32,253 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am completely useless at technical things so I need the help off some of you wise lot ... Here is the problem ... I charge both my lithium battery's fully with separate chargers but when I plug my light force 170 into them I only get about 2 mins of light then the lamp goes out and won't come back on again ?????????

socks 32,253 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yep both batteries do it and I haven't got another lamp to try .......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pip1968 2,490 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 socks it might have someting to do with the lamp if its happening to both batteries ie the wires might have fused together inside the lamp and draining the power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnighthunter 77 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 i mate have you looked at the lamp for a loose wire as its always been a problem with most of these lamps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 The battery charger could be goosed. Try someone elses if you you can. If both batteries are doing exactly the same thing and the lmp is coming on then its unlikely to be them ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 When you open up the cigaret lighter is one wire supposed to be soldered to the v shape metal clip and the other to the plug itself ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Like this ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Spot on mate...1 is a feed and 1 is an earth im sure but they're fine. How old are the batteries? Did you get them at the same time? Possibly a bad batch of batteries??? I would still try another charger :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Batteries have been working fine ... Can you wire them 2 cables up wrongly ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
