How long will a flashlight last? - Camping, Backpacking & Hiking

My Evatac flashlight rechargeable batteries not working .when connecting batteries to charger light flashes green red green red ect. What is the problem

Hello, Jacob - I am guessing that your flashlight uses a rechargeable battery or batteries. If so . . . if you have not already done so, have you replaced the rechargeable battery or batteries with a new one / new ones?
Rechargeable batteries do not last forever and eventually need to be replaced with fresh ones.

It would help in advising you to know the make and model of your flashlight. To provide that information, you can choose Comment and type the information in the Comment box.
Best wishes.

Holly cow, that's strong flashlight and $$.

The batteries are probably no good or your charger is bad. But I say the batteries themselves are bad. All batteries will only last so long. And it also depends how often they are keep charged and discharged. Basically all batteries require some kind of maintenance (recharging / discharging).

Here is what I have done for now. I was able to pick up a 24 Volt 10 Watt G-4 Base bulb at a local Boat USA store. So far so good. I had it running for 6 hours straight with no issues and still working.Finding a 36 Volt bulb replacement has been difficult and the bulbs don't last.

A replacement bulb may be found at www.frys.com or you may contact http://brinkmann.net/parts/flashlight_and_spotlight.aspx

If it uses AA batteries there is likely a spare bulb in a keeper below the spring. HTH
