REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
The Sealed Lead Acid Battery has a life of several years, if recharged promptly after each use. When
a fully charged battery only provides about five minutes or less of spotlight operation, it should be
replaced with a new one. To replace the battery, you will need a narrow shaft Phillips type screw-
driver and a replacement battery (Vector Part VEC191). The battery pack can be replaced by doing
the following:
1.
Remove the rubber end cap from the back of the body, noting the location of the Recharge
Port.
2.
Remove the four Phillips screws (clockwise) that fasten the inner hard plastic end cap
3.
Separate the hard plastic cap from the body.
4.
Note the battery can slide out of the body so keep the body level.
5.
Slowly lift the lens end of the light so the battery slides out of the body.
6.
The battery terminals are attached to two wires. These wires must be disconnected from the
terminals of the battery.
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW BARE WIRES OR CONNECTORS TO CONTACT EACH OTHER
DANGEROUS SPARKING CAN OCCUR. NOTE WHICH WIRES ARE ON THE BATTERY
TERMINALS
7. Note polarity of battery. Note which color wire is on which terminal.
8. Disconnect the wires from the battery and set the battery aside.
9. Connect the replacement battery, making sure the correct wires are on the new battery
terminals.
CAUTION: Incorrectly connected wires will not allow the spotlight to operate. Incorrect
battery polarity will damage the circuits inside the spotlight. Double check battery
polarity before reassembly!
10. Replace hard plastic battery compartment cover. Make sure wires are not crushed.
11. Replace four Phillips screws in battery compartment cover; do not over tighten.
12. Replace Rubber End Cap so the Recharge Port is accessible. Charge the recommended time
for a new battery. This is typically 12 - 15 hours or until the green Battery Status LED is lit.
DC PLUG FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse in the DC plug protects the charging circuit of the DC Recharge Adapter. If the AC
recharger operates but the DC charging adapter does not, then the fuse may be opened.
To replace the fuse:
1.
Unscrew the end cap of the DC Plug (counterclockwise).
2.
Remove spring center contact and fuse.
3.
Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4.
If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type and rating.
5.
Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6.
Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight-DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
7.
Check for proper operation of DC Charger Adapter.
