Eagle Tac T10L Probelem...Operator Error?

[cbpdogboy]

Hello all...this is my first thread post on here, so please bare with me.

I just purchased an Eagle Tac T10L, 2 18650 3.7v 2600mah lithium ion batteries, and a dual charger from battery junction. I have already had the 2 batteries on the charger for approximately 6 hours. I installed the battery and the light did not work...positive terminal towards the reflector side...

Does the battery have to stay on for more time even though the charger indicator light is green or do I have a defective light?

Please help me out with this problem.
Thanks
Steve

Hmmm sounds like you might have a light issue. Green light on the Charger is good. Unless charger is defective you can't get that light unless the battery is pretty close to top V.

Positive towards head is right, but what brand of batteries are you using? The EagleTac requires a positive terminal nipple on the cell, are you're batteries flat top?

The batteries are flat top...this one below...I was unaware of the nipple needed on the battery...

You need to put a spacer on top of the battery. There are little magnets for this purpose somewhere, I don't know where exactly. Maybe you could try a little piece of cut off paperclip.

Little magnets might be dangerous when it left the place it should be. Be careful.
