    charged up battery this afternoon, no issues.

    getting ready to go for a ride this evening, plug the battery to the light unit, turn it on, the light comes on for a about a somethingth of a second and *phut*, it goes off again.

    and wont come back on.

    have taken the front housing off and all the soldering points look ok.

    so, come on tech-ies, help me out!

    Most probably the connector in the cable. Seriously fragile.

    #Edit:
    Any sparks or bangs or just dead?

    Anything happen if you jiggle the cable? Can you try a different battery.

    its usually the battery on the orignals……
    assuming you checked the main light unit for swarf when you bought it (this was also a big issue if you bought direct from HK)

    battery has most likely got a bit of water in and corroded the circuit board
    that is the main weakness

    could be owt though

    Does it actually make a noise? That’s not a good sign if it does…

    Don’t have a solution but if it’s the P7 version and it’s dead, I’d be interested to take the remains off you, I’ve got some use for the parts.

    When’s your trip? I did an iffy warranty claim on a torch- admitted to dropping it down some stairs, and said “I’ve done this with my maglite loads of times, your glass lens is too weak” which frankly I expected nothing from, and got a replacement in the post about 10 days later. Was very surprised.
