I've used my dual beam Jet Lites for 3 seasons and it's seems the batteries are kaput. I charged
them up the other day and the battery was warm as they usually are after charging but no lights. I
only use them during Daylight Saving Time so they've been sitting around for several months. Anyway,
a new battery pack from them will cost me $150 which seems ridiculous. I took the pack apart and it
seems pretty simple to do. It's 11 NiMH batteries wired in series. It's 13.2V total so 1.2V per
battery at 350mAh each (3800mAh total). I'd like to just replace the batteries but most premade
packs are underpowered compared to these. Would I need to get a whole new charger for less volts? If
I switched to lead acid or NiCd, would I need a new charger, too?
Thanks, Paul
