Hope lighting

[Parrot of Doom]

Anyone here have Hope lights? The battery life on mine is about 2/3rds what it once was, so rather than buy a new one from Hope I've ordered some bits to make my own.

If anyone wants a DIY guide, let me know. The bits won't arrive for a few days/week, but it will be a simple project that anyone can do, and will cost me no more than £20 for a 4aH battery (almost double the standard Hope battery). For another £15 or so I could have made a 10aH battery.

Odd. The battery in my Vision HID is still going strong.

Oh mine is fine, just not what it once was. Batteries are like that, its probably been recharged more than 200 times.

Hi parrot,

i'd be interested in receiving your instructions for making up a battery. My Hope battery is fine at the moment, but who knows, in the future i may need to replace.

regards
