what a stupid i am (GT Nano)

[ateupwithgolf]

Channeling the 1968 Masters Robert De Vicenzo here:

I just got in the mail my GT NANO and immediately turned it on and was working fine, removed battery to charge it without reading any instructions (of course) and I think I must have fried the battery by inserting it backwards into the charger. Not working now. Can someone recommend a replacement battery that is made in the U.S.? Thank you.

Illumn has the 10180 battery. Did your light have a manual?
Looks like a fun light. I don't really need yet another battery type, but with batteries costing 2.95, I might consider it.
Good luck

If the light didn't have a reverse protection circuit you might have fried the light instead of the batteries. I hope not though....

I'm not sure any other battery is as good. I have a number of 10180 cells and none of them can keep the GT Nano on high for more than about 6 seconds. The one that came with it lasts much longer on high. I suspect the one that came with it is a high drain type.
