problem with wee battery

[faca]

hi I think one1 or 2 yerar ago I bought one Ti wee+2 batteries.
A week ago I turn on wee but didn´t ligth??
I took out battery and try to charge it but battery seems don´t charge at all ???
This battery has been charge 6 times only during this 2 yerars so I don´t understand which was the cause for this???.:scowl:
Any idea to avoid that in my fresh battery?
Thanks
Anyway I´m very happy with my Ti wee only complain is that vials felt out during a periodic cleaning sesion, vials were only press fitted with any cement?? I was lucky had not lost them.........:shakehead

Is it possible you overly discharged your battery the last time you used it? Overdischarge kills li-ions. Even if you left it fully charged the last time you used it, it's possible you had been overdischarging it too much each use causing it to no longer hold a charge properly.

Do you have a multimeter that you can use to measure the cells and tell us the findings?

yes I think this was the reason overdischarge becouse humidity in interior rubber ring+to deep screw rear cup ;-(
fidings 0,1

Yes if the o-ring is touching the battery after a few minutes the LED will glow very very dimly but the current draw is so low it could run for a couple of years like that (seriously - ask orb).

I don't think that would be the cause. But please, measure the voltage of the cells and report here.

voltage 1,22 v :duh2:

My wee has aCREE XR-E Q4WGBIN power LED of 25lum
Is there any upgrade than more lums? I mean superior=more effective LED Q5?....

faca.

1.22V is way, way too low. Please discard that cell as it is actually dangerous to charge that battery. You should order a new cell from the extra options/parts page that Norm just linked to.

hi thanks
Which specs these R2 have over my original Q4 LED?

Does someone know something about??
