I agree. I'll never buy another rechargeable light with a permanent battery. Yep. My GF moved into a new place two years back and bought a bunch of stuff, one of which was a new Dirt Devil 18v 'dustbuster.' After a couple of months, she told me that it wasn't lasting long and I ran through the usual checklist of potential issues and sure enough...it self discharges within a week. I can see NiMH type 14500 (AA) batteries stacked inside the cooling slots, but it's kaput, so there's nothing to lose. It would be nice if I could buy one, as I don't see the pack listed on Royal's site, but what the hell...I don't like throwing semi-functioning stuff a way. Chris |

There are several companies that make/sell replacement small appliance parts. Also, check battery pack rebuilders. One I've used is http://www.primecell.com. They rebuilt a battery pack for a network tester with better batteries for about 2/3 the price of the manufacturer. No connection, just a happy customer. Also, Batteries Plus or Interstate Battery stores might be able to tack-weld some batteries together for you locally. |

Probably two 2200mAh IMR cells in parallel. . If you can replace them easily, say if it's not a proprietary pack, then sure. Even if they're tabbed, you can find those, but if you can't, than you're just renting for a couple of years. Chris I easily took the back off with 4 Phillips screws. There are two 18650 cells shrink wrapped together. There is room for a third The circuit board is labeled 2-3 18650 cell input. You could put 3 2900mah cells in there and get 4 hour rum time on high. |
