It’s very easy to get a replacement battery for the 40sl it’s just an 18650 battery 3350mah

Very great demonstrations and overview of the lights. I like the 80SL due to the fact you can remove the battery and charge it separate from the light .

I'm a little confused. Seems the old light was so poorly designed, you might have tried another brand when it failed. How long did the old one last?
@ToolDemos2 жыл бұрын
The old one lasted almost 3 years. Over that time, I was not at all easy on that flashlight. So I am still impressed by how durable it is and despite some of its design shortcomings I really liked using it. This new flashlight is an improvement on an overall decent design. Other brands may also work, but I like the Astros I have.

Harbor freight has a similar light with a flexible head that is rechargeable and has a magnetic base on sale now for $19.99. I have on and thinking about getting a second one.

why the battery go bad? should you leave on charger or take off when full?
@ToolDemos2 жыл бұрын
I actually think the battery is okay, but I dropped the light a lot. It probably has a broken connection inside. You can leave the charger plugged in, it has a feature that will stop it - so you don’t over charge it.
