You may operate the spotlight or area light directly from any 12 volt DC external power source
supplying at least 10 amp capacity. The internal battery will be recharged while operating the
spotlight or area light from external DC power source.
5. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
All batteries lose charge over time, especially when they are warm. AC recharge is recommended
every two months, when not in frequent use. Use the AC recharger and charge for the recom-
mended time. If the unit gets dirty gently clean the outer surface of the spotlight unit with a soft
cloth moistened with a mild solution of water and detergent. Periodically inspect the condition of
recharge adapters, connectors, and wires. Replace any components that may have become worn
or broken.
6. PARTS REPLACEMENT
Three parts are replaceable by users. The quartz halogen bulb and sealed lead acid battery are pro-
prietary and are available through Vector Manufacturing. A substitute 12 volt H3 55 watt bulb may be
used instead of a Vector bulb. These can also be purchased from popular automotive parts suppliers
nationwide. The DC charging adapter fuse is replaceable. Contact Vector Manufacturing’s Technical
Support Department for replacement parts and any additional information that you may need. They
