Didn\'t follow my own advice...

My Streamlight stinger of about 7 years sits on the charger all the time. I unplugged it to plug something else in.

I decided to try it a day later, still unplugged, and it was dim for about 5 seconds before going out.

So if the nicads won't hold a charge for more than a day it's time to replace them. I'm bad as they are the original batteries.

Re: Didn\'t follow my own advice...

My stinger did almost the exact same thing, after 5 or so years of usage, that's pretty good for Ni-Cads.

I still have plans to make my own battery pack, using NIMH batteries, but haven't gotten around to it.
