A workmate wants to check out some throwers for spotting game, so I am going to take in a few lights for him to try out over the weekend.
My Convoy L2 was in the mix, & I hadn't used it for about a month or so. I knew it was ready to go, with charged cells in it.
When I went to switch it on, I got nothing, so switched it off immediately. As I took the tailcap off & shook out the cells, I was overwhelmed by a strong chemical smell, & one of the cells was wet.
I measured the voltage of the cells, & took some pictures. One cell measured 4.05v, the other 0.05v. The cells were bought together as a pair, used in the same light, & charged together. They would have been lucky to have four or five cycles, & have never been over charged/discharged, or otherwise abused.
Rolled the cell on the table;
I wonder what will happen If I connect these wires??
