I just bought an HID Stanley from Wally World last Friday, and soon as I got in the car, the package was opened. I squeezed the trigger, only to have it light for maybe 1 1/2 seconds and die!
Understanding that I have to charge it, and only slightly disappointed, I used the DC car charger on the way home, charging in all around an hour. I got to the room, and used the AC charger, only when I plugged it in, the light ran green. Thinking it was charged by now after reading the manual, i took it off charge, waited, and squeezed the trigger, and got nothing.
I tried everything, I tried using it while plugged into AC and only got the top LED's to work. I let it charge for another 5 hours until I woke up the next morning, and again, nothing.
I was in my car a day later, and trying the DC adapter again, I finally got the light to work for more than 2 seconds by letting it remain plugged in. But again, when I took it off it was dead again.
I let it charge overnight again, and today, same thing. Am I just not letting it charge enough, or is the battery FUBAR?
