lurcher330 2,297 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I bought a lithium battery last year or so ,the cigar lighter connection was a pain in the arse,constantly coming lose while the dog was running,i eventually taped it up but not long after it broke inside it,so i connected the battery plug straight to the lamp,but it just keeps over heating and melting the connection to the battery,it's gone that bad now the plug will not go into the battery.they are great when they are working right but 200 euro for a battery i got one season out of ,is a pain in the arse,is this a common problem with them 1 Quote Link to post

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'd be sending those photos to Deben! If they've changed the design then they are aware of the problem. Not good for é200 ! 4 Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 My 10Ah battery nearly went the same way as your's..it was caused through the plug becoming slack and not giving a good connection..all's i done was tape the plug tight to the battery and it never happened again and the battery is still going strong..

trigger2 3,133 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 ive never had any major problems with mine had it 2 years now. the conection in the plug was a bit dodgy but i cured that with a bit of electrical tape round it each time i go out and its been absoloutly fine.

lurcher330 2,297 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I thought that but i have use more tape on the poxy thing,than i ever did using a ferret collar taped to a terrier collar with 15 years of digging with one Quote Link to post

lurcher330 2,297 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nice one Trigger 2,that is one for the future,but the female connection on the battery has sunk in a bit now and is not flush with the top of the battery anymore Quote Link to post
