anyone know the recycle time on this light. I had it hooked to a battery pack and it was like 20 seconds, which is a long time. Is that normal?

That's not a good thing and they normally don't take long more then 2 sec for me

The light pulls 1 amp. That battery is rated at 5 amp hours. So roughly 5 hours operation time. That battery isn't a deep cycle, it'll have a shorter life.

I really haven't noticed a reduction in recycle time or much advantage with it. There's a reason the Quantum rechargeable batteries cost so much more. Those DO work.

Most likely its Amazon for the whole light for a period of time. Mine is still working after 6 months . If the battery goes out just get a new one from Sony it a common charger.I figure if it lasts a year I got my moneys worth its so cheap . It sure is bright.

Larry P. I've been using rechargeable batteries in this light ever since I've had it. No bad results so far-- Regards,Bill H.

Yes, very well. I accidentally left my light on for over 8 hours necessitating my first charge. It took less than 4 hours (I was gone for that timeframe) and its back to full charge.

Hello,I bought thus light 8 months ago... Great light! Bright at night and I use the flasher 99% of the time. There are brighter ones but not needed. Never ran out if power yet.The warning of low power is a very faint flashing light under the on/off button. Any USB solar charger, computer or cell phone that connects works but takes 8 hours (USB only supplies 5 volts and 200 milliamperes). The USB is pretty standard and quite common. A side hole for a glass do some flash goes to the sides and a butter plug to cover the USB is my only complaints.

It willturngreen when fully charged. the LED on the light will turn red about 20 min. before it needs charging, but thatprobably depends whatpower level you are using.

The light is suppose to turn green when fully charged. Mine doesn't but some say it takes about 2 hours to charge the batteries...so thats how long I charge them.

The light goes out when charged. If completely discharged, it takes around 3 hours to charge.

my lights are used on nightstand and in vehicle emergency kit. I use rechargeable batteries, and have spares charged and available. Sporadic use lasts for months... the light utilized on nightstand has had one battery change in several months, the one in vehicle has had very little use, no battery change yet. I have not used the light on a daily, or an extended use period yet.... so long answer short, seems to be normal for a light of this type.

Um..... It should never be on unless charging. You did not charge it when you first got it did you? It comes charged. From then on it only takes a two hour charge. If overcharged and battery ruined the light will stay on.

No, that's ridiculous. I ran mine last weekend for a solid seven hours, with intermittent bursts on full power to get from one point to another. I also run my fish finder off the same battery. When I got home the battery was still 80 percent charged, and that's the most I've ever drawn it down.

Hi, not going to lie to you, this is an awesome product and when i show it off, the guys who one a different model gets jealous and the ones who don't have one, buys one. Now with the red light, I normally charge mines for 3-6 Hours and never pay attention to the light but when in use it stays well lit for hours. (varies on brightness) To be safe try 3-6 hours and see how long it will last depending on your usage. Hope this helps and enjoy!

I think it's however long to actual machine lasts...4000 uses..2000? I'd check on the actual site. I just think the light stops working - which is what you need.

I have had the light over a month and the batteries are still going. I have it in my garage at the stairs that go down to my basement kennels so the dogs can see when they come out to the yard in the morning and at night. In the winter, the light is on nearly everytime I pass it because it is so dark and I haven't replaced the batteries yet. I may get rechargeable batteries for it once I find out how long they last.
