When not connected to the glow plug but the alligator leads connected to the battery is there any current draw on the battery?

In the absence of a glow plug connection, the circuit is incomplete and no load is present to be powered by the attached battery. So the answer is "no" current draw is zero.

Sorry for getting back to you very late...I plugged the AC adapter into the light and it did turn on, but this does not say that it is running off the adapter and not just the battery. I would suspect it was running off the adapter. I could experiment and drain the battery then do this again. I modified my light by replacing the internal 750mAh battery with two external 2000 mAh batteries. Each will keep the light going for about 1:45 mins for a total of about 4 hrs of use. That is good for my long ghost hunts.

It seems 'Not'. But when the battery pack is being charged the lights are on - blinking. After push the round button you will see the some of 4 lights on and know how much power left in the battery pack.

Dear friend, Thank you for your email! When you connect the wire, LED will glow naturally , they are work relying on electronic. Sincerely, Ayygiftideas

The battery is removable and I assume replaceable. It's a TR 18650 2800 mAh 3.7V Li-Ion battery.Yes, the light source is LED.I've charged it successfully with the included 12V adapter (in the car) but I don't have a clue what the amp draw is.

Mine does the same thing. It is charged when I unplug it later. I wish the LED indicator would stay on.

sir, i am confused by your statement. i would verify the battery is being charged. since it is DC current a simple multimeter will provide this information.i purchased this battery for a back up security system. the system becomes active in the event of a power loss.

I don't think it draws that much, but why keep it on when not in use? Just plug it in to check then disconnect, I think would be best.

There is a "trigger out" port in the rear. From my understanding, this will feed a low current (up to 0.1A) whenever the unit is turned on, and this can be cabled directly to a power screen that supports the 12V trigger.

I use Energizer, my light has no appreciable change in temperature. Are you able to say if it is the 'light' (LED) or the battery that's gettinig hot? I suspect it is the battery. If so, then the battery getting hot would be the result of excessive current draw (think of if you've ever shorted/briged a battery, both the battery & conductor get very hot), and the battery itself becomes weak/dead. All that to say this:If the battery is getting hot, then the LED is too much load for it - consider using a battery with a higher mAh (milli-ampre-hour) rating. If the 'Light' (LED, or any other part of the torchlight assembly) is getting hot then the unit (flashlight or its components) is defective.

No, mine works great. Try opening the Velcro on the belly and check the batteries.

Alan, This particular brand has a chip that monitors the charge state of the battery. As the battery approaches full charge, the charger proportionately reduces the charge amps. I leave my motorcycle batteries connected all winter long. However, if your batteries are not sealed, you must monitor the water level periodically. Also, I'd suggest that you keep a thin film of grease on the alligator clips (if used) to prevent corrosion.

I suppose that you could use alligator clips but why would you. They can't handle the current the battery is able to deliver. The battery is designed with lugs that handle larger machine screws and nuts (e.g., 1/4-20 or bigger). If you only need a temporary connection and draw low current, any clip would do.

Doito, went dead, no LED light indicates to me that your batter is nolonger connected, Check to make sure it has not disconnected, make sure it's not bad. Even new batteries are bad out of the box. I experienced this first hand as an electronics tech

Whem connected and charging, this is a normal observation. When charging completes, it glows a steady light.

not sure but there is a plug spot. let me know if there is one would save on batteries. i use rechargeable.There is a spot for a 4.5v DC

I will vary depending upon the current load and the voltage out. one of mine is hooked to a 6 volt lantern battery and has been driving a led strip of 25 led's for over 10 weeks now and the battery voltage has only dropped .3 volts. I hope this helps.
