DuraPro flashlight won't hold charge - Costco DuraPRO® MegaBRITE Flashlight Megabrite

Hi,

Please remove the memory card and hold the power button down for 15 seconds. If that does not turn the light off, please remove all batteries from your device. Please stay away from the power outlet where the camcorder was initially charging. Thank you.

Without knowing the make and model of your flashlight, it's difficult to know whether you have a product with a replaceable battery. Providing that information would be very helpful.

In addition, you can try taking your light to a specialty batteries store--around here, there's a chain called "Batteries Plus." They have a large number of cross-reference books that identify all kinds of replacement batteries, and they may be able to help you directly in extracting your existing battery pack--or in telling you that it has been permanently sealed into your flashlight. Many spotlight-style rechargeable flashlights have replaceable batteries; conversely, smaller handheld rechargeable flashlights (the kind that look like they'd take 2 C or 2 D cells) are much less likely to have user-replaceable battery packs inside.

Good luck!

The first thing to do is have the battery tested, just because you charged it doesn't mean it will stay charged if the cells are sulfated up or shorted.

voltage regulator. it may be in the alternator, or remote mounted. ((the alternator can be charging, but if voltage regulator is'nt working then it won't allow voltage to get back to the battery to keep it charged

were can i buy a baatery

When you hit the button, does the light come on? If so, and there is no cold air try a freon charge kit with dye in it. These kits are relativly inexpesive and come with yellow glassed and a UV flashlight. Fill the freon and let it run for a couple days. Then using the glasses and flashlight in a dim area, look for splashes of green. THen you can get the oring or what ever is leaking, change it, then have a pro evacuate and re-charge the system.

It would be a bad idea. The battery would soon not be able to hold a charge. It's best to charge it up fully and then take it off the charger.

sounds like there might be a connection problem inside the flashlight. or, simply the batteries just will not hold a charge anymore. Some rechargable batteries tend to die after awhile and wont hold their charge anymore.

Could be a lamp holder or charger problem. I suggest going to Streamlight's website and find an authorized service center in your area or send it to the factory for repair.

Hold the maglite after 30 min charge if warm means charging , if cold no charging , test the light when so bright means very good.
