REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
The sealed lead acid battery has a life of several years, if recharged promptly after each use.
When a fully charged battery only provides about ten minutes or less of spotlight operation,
it should be replaced with a new one. To replace the battery, you will need a narrow shaft Phil-
lips-head screwdriver and a replacement battery. The battery pack can be replaced by doing
the following:
1. Complete the bulb replacement steps through step 5, to remove the reflector assembly.
2. Remove the three Phillips-head screws (clockwise) that fasten the two halves of the
housing body. (see Figure 1 for locations).
3. Separate the two body halves and carefully pop out the handle, stand and recharge
port assemblies.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW BARE WIRES OR CONNECTORS TO CONTACT EACH OTH-
ER; DANGEROUS SPARKING CAN OCCUR
4. Note polarity of battery. Note which color wire is on which terminal.
5. Disconnect the wires from the battery and set the battery aside.
6. Connect the replacement battery, making sure the correct color wires are on the new
battery terminals. Make sure POS (+) is red and NEG (-) is black.
CAUTION: Incorrectly connected wires will allow the spotlight to operate normally, however,
when recharge adapters are connected, there will be damage to the battery and recharge
adapters. Double check battery polarity before reassembly!
