Astrolux flashlight reverse polarity

Hey guys, im a newbie with flashlights so i will probably ask a silly question, i put a battery the wrong way on my ft03 flashlight, is it possible i damaged the battery or the flashlight? It didnt work btw lol. Thanks!

Have you put the battery back the correct way and tried it?

Yeah its working

never asume a budget light has reverse polarity protection.

Some lights have polarity protection and some don’t. If it’s working now, I’d say you didn’t cause damage and got lucky :slight_smile:

i think it doesnt have rpp, but its still working so does that mean it didnt fry anything? :stuck_out_tongue:

As long as it’s working normally, everything should be fine!

well i guess thats a relief, thank you :slight_smile:

I’ve done it before and fried one…light was just dead. You are lucky :slight_smile:

Im sorry for your loss my friend i hope it wasnt an expensive one :slight_smile:
