Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 thought it was just the plug on the lamp that was knackered, but plugged my mates lamp into battery last night & it still didnt work... seems like its the actual connector inside the battery. Im sure its still under warranty (12 months??) but it means waiting for god knows how long for it to be posted back!! Are they easy to take apart? i reckon that if i can get inside it, i can wire in a better plug! Quote Link to post
