What do I check if the lights won't come on when the charger is
plugged in?
If the charger lights do not turn on when the unit is plugged in, first check
to make sure that the cord to the power supply is firmly seated in the back
of the charger. Next, remove and inspect the fuse that is on the front of the
charger. Replace this 10A/250V fuse if it appears to be broken. Finally, if the
charger still does not turn on, return it to Halcyon or an authorized dealer so
that the internal surge protection fuse can be inspected for damage.
My light was accidentally turned on while in transit and the battery
has been fully discharged. Have I damaged my NiMH battery?
Maintaining a load on a NiMH battery past the point of full discharge may
eventually cause irreversible changes in the cell chemistry and promote life-
limiting phenomena such as creep leakage. If you have over-discharged your
NiMH battery pack, recondition the battery by taking it through at least three
complete discharge/charge cycles.
Can I disassemble my Explorer/Eos/Apollo battery pack or dry lid?
If you remove the protective Delrin caps, the plastic shrink-wrapping from
your NiMH battery pack, or disassemble the Halcyon dry lid, you will void
your Halcyon warranty. There are no user-serviceable parts within the pack;
if you think that your battery pack or lid might be damaged, please return
the light to your Halcyon dealer for inspection. The bolts that secure the dry
lid are sealed; breaking the seal will void your light's warranty.
Warning:
Your Halcyon Explorer battery pack and dry lid are built to
exacting standards. There are no user servicable parts in either compo-
nent; removing the pack's end cap or disassembling the lid can dam-
age the system's wiring and result in a catastrophic failure.
Do I need to take any special precautions in shipping and handling my
Explorer battery?
Shipping and handling of NiMH batteries is straightforward. The following
suggestions ensure maximum performance, reliability and safety in working
with the cells:
•Provide proper packaging, considering the weight of the battery pack,
to avoid transit damage.
•Do not store cells or batteries under load or in a shorted condition.
•Avoid excessive handling of charged cells and batteries outside the
Explorer canister.
