dytkos 17,800 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Not until Friday. Went out, got piss wet through. Lamp was working when I came in. Yesterday morning tried it before recharging, dead. Tried the lamp on my other battery, OK. Tried to charge the lithium, charger went from red to green in 2 hours Tried it with the lamp. Zilch. Gonna get in touch with Deben tomorrow. This battery is about 2 years old. Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Are they really worth all the extra dosh in order to save a pound or 2 in weight or are there other benefits??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 they are a great piece of kit. it's a god sent just popping the battery in a pocket and off you go. had to use my old battery this week , had a few kidney blows when jumping fences to remind me of what i was missing. i just hope they stand up to the test of time. not looking good so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I use the older batteries with no probs at all. I made a shoulder carrier thing out of 2 inch webbing and when walking with it i don't even know its there. I've another bigger capacity battery coming any time so we'll see how that goes. I wouldn't pay the money for the lithium to be honest but then again, I get my batteries FOC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j1985 1,984 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Haha that's what I was thinking, I'd think I'd left it in the motor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
