the land turned lamp on and it just died no power in battery and

it was fully charged

it all depends where they have been kept and well looked after they have been. no hard and fast rules sum batteries are better than others thats just the way it is i am afraid mate.

i think i read somewhere that you get roughly 300-400 cycles [flat to fully charged] but likes been said all different, some gonna last longer than others

in some of the older nimh batteries on drills etc they have a type of memory , so if you constantly charge them from a point other than empty they tend to remember and work to those parameters.

not sure if its the same for liion but an expensive lesson to learn either way

i got a spare 12v 7ah yuhasa brand new that you can have if you pay for the post .

The lithion Ion batteries don't have a memory like the sealed lead acid type's..they can be charged any time empty or half full and it will not effect them..i have a 10 amp one here that has had around 4 season's work and it is still going strong..
