diodes in series and a push connector. one fits on to a tag
on one terminal of the battery assembly, the other to a
terminal strip on the lamp body directly
connected to the
other terminal of the battery.
The diodes are connected
such that ttrey permit a charging current
to flow, but
prevent current flow out of the hand ramp from the knttery.
In
addition,
a vent
provided
hole
is
prevent
to
pressurisation
of ttre enclosure due to gassing thai could
occur due to faurty charging of the cerls.
TLris vent hore

Tkre
hand lamp is designed to be clipped on to the charger, such
that
the 2 charging
terminals
make contact
with
the
appropriate terminars of the charger.
Ttre charger circuit
is designed such that it will detect full
charge of the
battery and svitch the charging current to trickle wtren the
batteries are fully charged, and this condition is indicated
by a light
on the charger.
An alternative
charger is
avairable for charging the laryr in a vehicle.
Thris version
does not provide indication
