I have tried contacting O-Light through their online form and also calling them, but have been unsuccessful obtaining support from them.
I recently purchased a S1R Baton, which came with a USB charger and a 163C05 550mAh RCR123A battery. The light and battery work as they should together. I also purchased the charging dock.
So I bought a couple of the 16430 650mAh batteries as spares. They will not charge while in the light, using either the USB cable charger or the docking station. I have to charge them on a universal stand-alone Li-Ion charger I have. They will work in the flashlight after this, but not in turbo mode. As soon as the light goes into the highest lumen setting, it shuts off and won't come on again until I remove and replace the battery, which gives me the impression I am "resetting" it.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Are the 650mAh batteries not fully compatible with the S1R, considering it's information says it uses a "customized" 550mah battery? Or did I get a couple of defective batteries? Do I need to order just the 550mAh batteries, like the one it came with? Please help.
