Dead LIghts ?

Bravo30 · Apr 30, 2018

i went through my lights an found 4 that dont work anymore. nothing special, just a few AAA/AA. they dont apear to be corroded or anything. anything else i need to check? any reason why they just die? the Olight i3eos and Fenix E11 were hardly used.

Did they have alkaline cells inside ?

All contact surfaces and threads have been cleaned ?

Fully charged fresh cells tried ?

Switches and connections all secure and tight ?

-stored with no batteries
-tried fresh batteries (i tested to make sure they were good)
-i havent cleaned any contacts
-switches and connections are tight

ill go clean the contacts now and see if that helps.

For the fenix e11, try to bypass the tail switch by using a wire connecting the negative of a battery to the head and see if it lights up. From what i know, the e11 switch is not too reliable especially if momentary on is used a lot.
