Sorry for the lapse... update. Interesting. In the workshop, Charger in the wall... my wife mentioned, "have you tried the older (original) battery that you thought was bad? I mean charging it?" - well, it had been a while.. so I charged it overnight and 'would ya balieeeve'! It worked. Bright beam.. so I stuck the new battery in and charged it while I was working for six hours... AND IT WORKED TOO. Dang... So I had the light
in the charger with the new battery and turned it on (in the charger), WORKED... swapped battery, in the charger, it worked also... Took light with old, then working (hint) battery into the house for a night time check.. at 9PM (about 12 hours since checked ), DEAD as a door-nail.. put in the new battery, it had worked earlier, 8 hours... DEAD as a door-nail. Very improbable.
So will start with a good log and put in charge time, etc.. for each. Retest and see if same results. I figure overnight should do for charge time?
And then see.
Thanks for the patience.
PS: I am thinking that it is the switch actually, but not sure yet.
