I took a tumble and ended up in a creek bed with my Station LED. Anyway, looks like the lens o-ring failed and it took on water. I didn't notice until dark, of course. I took it apart and let it dry for a few days. The battery terminals both have a little bit of surface rust. As well as the springs. (Which I'm sure I have a name.)
So I'm traveling this summer (in pittsburgh, pa until the wind blows) and my other lights in that size range were part of a backpack that got stolen in Kansas City. It happens I'm actually depending on this light, awesome.
Did I damage the battery? Should I put it on a charger?
I got the light from cabelas but I paid cash and if I had the receipt it would be 2500 miles away. Would cabelas take my word for it? Would they even replace it? I see the o-ring failing as a defect.
Mostly I'm thinking I should just try on a gfci outlet and if it doesn't charge or blows up then I'm out a light.
