Thrunite T1 - Charging port not working

One of my favorite EDC lights is my Thrunite T1. I know not everyone likes on-board charging but I like it because when I do my extended motorcycle/camping trips, I can charge the light as I ride during the day.

A few days ago I kept getting the flashing light indicating that the light was not charging correctly. I unplugged it, tightened the head, and plugged it back it. I fear I may have messed something up because the light will not charge now. The light works fine, and I can easily charge the battery in my external chargers. I ordered another T1 that will arrive this week. Hey, now I have a backup.

My question is, are problems with the charging ports a common issue, or is it entirely dependent on how careful I am about plugging it in? Also, I don’t suppose there is a simple solution to fixing the issue is there? I cannot really return the light as it was purchase on the bay and Thrunite states they only cover lights bought through their Amazon store.

As I said, I can still use the light and it is a minor issue to charge externally, but I am just one of those folks that likes everything to work the way it is supposed to.

BTW - New T1 will be here around Wednesday.

Dunno the T1, but micro ports can get finicky over time. Need to be kept pushed in, pressed at an angle, etc.

Try jiggling it to see if it at some point makes contact?

Try cleaning out the charging port.

My new T1 arrived today and I really like this one…it is a warmer white than my first one.
