3. Separate the hard plastic cap from the body (fig. Q).
4. Note the battery can slide out of the body so keep the 

body level (fig. R).

5. Slowly lift the lens end of the light so the battery slides 

out of the body (fig. S).

6. The battery terminals are attached to two wires. These 

wires must be disconnected from the terminals of the 

battery.

WARNING: DO NOT 

ALLOW BARE WIRES OR 

CONNECTORS TO CONTACT 

EACH OTHER DANGEROUS 

SPARKING CAN OCCUR. NOTE 

WHICH WIRES ARE ON THE 

BATTERY TERMINALS

7. Note polarity of battery. 

Note which color wire is on 

which terminal.

8. Disconnect the wires from 

the battery and set the 

battery aside.

9. Connect the replacement 

battery, making sure the 

correct color wires are on 

the new battery terminals. 

Make sure POS (+) is red 

and NEG (-) is black.

CAUTION:

 Incorrectly 

connected wires will not 

allow the spotlight to operate. 

Incorrect battery polarity 

will damage the circuits 

inside the spotlight. Double 

check battery polarity before 

reassembly!

10. Replace hard plastic battery compartment cover. Make 

sure wires are not crushed.

11. Replace four Phillips screws in battery compartment 

cover; do not over tighten.

12. Replace Rubber End Cap so the Recharge Port is 

accessible. Charge the recommended time for a new 

battery. This is typically 12 - 15 hours or until the 

green Battery Status LED is lit.

Replacing the DC Plug Fuse 

The fuse in the DC plug (10) protects the charging circuit 

of the DC Recharge Adapter. If the AC recharger operates 

but the DC charging adapter does not, then the fuse may 

be opened. To replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC Plug 

(counter-clockwise) (fig.T).

2. Remove spring center contact and fuse (fig. U).
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If blown, locate replacement fuse with same type 

and rating (0.5A)

5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight. 

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN

7. Check for proper operation of DC Charger Adapter.
