Q:
My British Standard LED light says it has a back up function. How does this work?
A:
To meet the requirements of British Standard (BS), a front light must give out a specific amount of light. Once the batteries on your light have run down, then the light will no longer function at its brightest intensity, so it will become a "back up" light automatically.
Q:
Can I use rechargeable batteries in my light?
A:
Yes you can. Though most rechargeable batteries are only 1.25 volts, rather than 1.5 volts. This may result in reduced light output and shorted run times.
Q:
I have noticed that my battery capacity indicator light has been coming on earlier than expected. What could this mean?
A:
If the ambient temperature drops, this can result in a lower overall battery voltage. This can cause the indicator light to be triggered, possibly indicating that your battery capacity and voltage is reduced due to age or condition of the battery. It is recommended to replace your battery at this point with a new one.
Q:
I have noticed my actual run time has been reduced recently. What could this mean?
A:
If the ambient temperature is quite low, this may result in a shorter run time than expected. This also may be an indication that your battery is coming to the end of its natural life, so a replacement battery will need to be purchased. If the run time is significantly short overnight/after charging, check that you did not over discharge your battery and that your charger is functioning correctly.
Q:
How should I store my RECHARGEABLE BATTERY during summer or when not in use?
A:
It is advisable to always store your rechargeable batteries fully charged in a cool, dry place, but we would recommend if the battery is unused for 2 months, to discharge (run until the light dies out), then immediately fully recharge. Repeat discharge/recharge every 2 months if you rarely use your lights.
Polite Note: The more you use your lights, the better condition your batteries will stay in. For more information, go to www.cateye.com and refer to Cateye's <SUPPORT> pages.
