Newly Enlightened
Many threads related to Polarion lights go back to 2008. This new thread aims to update the information related to Polarion batteries. In particular: replacement, charging, storage and changes over time. Please ask your questions and I will get the factory to answer and post here.
To get us started:
Polarion makes 2 battery packs:
1- PH battery (PS-P8-P) which fits PH, PF, NET40 and NP1. 4400mA.
2- X1 battery which fits the X1 and the Abyss (all models). 4400mA (different form factor).
The batteries in new condition work for 80 or 90 minutes (continuous - existing models). Charge time is 3 to 3.5 hours. I will ask about old PH50 lights with new batteries. 2 different ballasts were used in the PH50 and I am not sure if it affected the battery life.
Polarion batteries do not like to be fully discharged. Permanent damage can occur if they are left dead for more than 3 months. They should be stored charged and checked periodically.
I will add to this post tomorrow about PH50 battery life in new condition and changes to the charger, battery pack and ballast that may have affect battery durability.
In the interim, add your unanswered questions here and we will get updated answers directly from the manufacturer.
