budharley 945 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Do you lads charge them when there dimming , mate of mine had it out other night 2 n alf hours and said it's not dimmed . My dad wants to borrow it later not sure if I should charge it or not Quote Link to post
stabba 10,745 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just look at the indicator light next to the on/off switch mate. turn the torch on and if the little light is green then there's 50% plus in the batteries. if its amber then there is 50% to 30% life left. If its red there's under 30% so i'd recommend you charge it. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Do you lads charge them when there dimming , mate of mine had it out other night 2 n alf hours and said it's not dimmed . My dad wants to borrow it later not sure if I should charge it or not Alright mate, the lithium ion batts have no memory, unlike older batteries. So they can be charged at any stage of there capacity, so if you only use it for 10 mins after fully charging then you can stick it on charge again to make sure you have 100% charged batts for when you need it the next time, 1 Quote Link to post
Bri 81 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Was out tonight to compare mine to my old million cp clue light. No comparison. lol You don't realise how yellow the beam from the old lamp is till you switch on the k50. Ultra bright and clear as day. No comparison. The spill is a bit big and will take a bit if getting used to. But the k50 is what I'll be using from now on. Cheers FD 3 Quote Link to post
