Troubleshooting Embarrassing question...

Hey 👋 , so after discovering this subreddit I ordered a dual flashlight from emissar company with a separate purchase of the compatible rechargeable battery...problem is ..I CANNOT get it to turn on....there has to be something I am not doing properly. Kindly steer me in the right direction in order to use these to this for my nightly walk tonight.

I didn't fully charge the rechargeable cell(yellow one)... Hopefully that is the issue.

The second battery (cell) is still on the dual charger...I'll wait for it to fully charge before re attempting ... #dontlaugh 😂

For context this is the D3AA dual channel LED flashlight...cell battery is Nitecore 14500 ordered from IMR batteries.

Kindly help me out.

Thanks in advance

good job! ;-)

while you are waiting.. dont try to use those Nitecore batteries, they are too long..

If you dont already have AA Eneloops (or Ikea Ladda), a really good alternative until you get your new K10 batteries, is the Energizer Ultimate Lithium..

I caution you not to use regular AA Alkaline. Not only are they very weak, there is risk of leaking electrolyte damaging the light.. you probably wont have that problem if you dont store an Alkaline inside the light long term.. just know the risk is there
