Question edited for clarity, FULL 'make model (what it is)'.
These are cheap junk made in China. There is no support and no spares. Buy a new one on Amazon, there are two left and use yours for spares. if you need them. Read these reviews!
Your Alternator is no good, that light is not to tell you the battery is bad, it is to tell you the battery is not getting charged. Do you read the owner's manual?
I am assuming you are reading the battery charge correctly. If so you need a new rechargable battery. Special battery so it is a little expensive. Make sure the person knows it is a "rechargable battery" you want. A regular battery will not work properly or recharge.
If both lights are flashing after you put a cool battery on the charger, the battery is bad. It could have a bad, worn or shorted cell or other problems inside and the charge will not charge it as long as it reads it as a bad battery. Rechargable batteries do have a finite life determined mainly by how many times you recharge them.
you're not completely right. Kodak printer docks normally only charge the Kodak KAA2HR battery pack. It not charges normal Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of any brands.
In my experience, where I live to the North of you, where I work in a camping resort, where our seasonal campers make use of the same devices from the same supply and source), I have found the batteries in these devices are good for NO MORE than two seasons with little exception.
You might have other troubles, like the day-lite sensor is cloudy or being impacted by some other light source or the panels are cloudy and will not charge the battery fully. Read on please.
The way these things work, generally speaking, the solar panel part of your light actually recharges a rechargable battery in the battery pack. These batteries take a beating - fully recharging and fully discharging EVERY DAY. You can probably replace these batteries with new RECHARGABLE batteries to extend the useful life of your lights. Did I mention the lights are always subject to the full heat of your beautiful sunny days as well as the full fury of your dreadful rainy season? BTW, we visit often and love Florida.
I've known this problem to occur if the wrong kind of CR123/CR123A lithium battery is used. They come as rechargeable and dry cell (i.e. non-rechargeable) versions. For sensitive devices like yours the difference is important as the internal resistance of the rechargeables is lower which affects the voltage characteristics.This meter is designed only for the dry cell version: see page 34 of the user manual, although the instructions don't make this fact clear enough IMHO. The reason for using the dry cell version is that the output voltage remains constant until the battery is nearly exhausted, but the rechargeable version starts at a slightly higher than nominally rated voltage and drifts down as the battery discharges. This means that you only get a truly accurate reading with a dry cell battery. There is no user adjustment to recalibrate the meter but you can use a different ISO rating to compensate or use the exposure compensation settings.
Hi
I thought you were going to give me an answer to my question. I am sadly disappointed after reading your 'answer' that I have been eagerly waiting on all day.
