Greetings from Kona fellow Scubaboarders:
Having some nice dives this week, most recently today with DiveTek. I'll post more about this upon my return. However, I'm having a tough time with my Fisheye HG20DX fixlights. I know there has been a history of charger/battery/bulb issues posted on this and other forums such as wetpixel. I have two lights on this trip, and after one use the batteries no longer seem to charge. The red LED blinks twice in succession and then pauses when no battery is in the charger, and glows red steadily when the battery is in place. I've tried to make sure the contacts are not out of position, to no avail. If I leave the battery like this overnight, I find all five LEDs glowing green, but when I put the battery in the light it indicates the battery is not charged. Happens to both of my batteries, tried in both of my lights.
I'll contact Ryan when I get back (I bought the lights in August 2006, he's been helpful in the past and I'm sure he'll help put things right) but in the meantime does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try while on the road? I have the manual with me, but not the warranty info, am I still covered?
Thanks,
Slingshot
