Like the title says, I lost my charger and I can't find it even after hours of looking I honestly have no idea where it went.

Can you buy another charger from Radioshack or something like that? I tried some misc, chargers I have, but the LED light won't stay on for long. I currently took the light apart and am now charging the battery on a small motorcycle battery charger and it's taking forever and more.

Is there anyone that can tell me the volts,amps, etc that the charger says?

Hopefully another one just like that will work.

Thanks Im the MAN

I hope you don't still have it attached to the motorcycle charger. It will explode a Ni-Cad battery.

Lead acid requires a constant voltage charger. And they charge at appx 1.7 volts per cell

Ni-Cad requires a constant current charger. And they charge at appx 1.3 volts per cell. And at a MUCH LOWER CURRENT!

Let me look through my electronic junk boxes and see if I have one lying around. You can have it, just pay the shipping. I'll go look at my Brinkman charger first to check the specs.

I found a charger that the specs are:

Input: 120v AC 60Hz 0.3A
Output: 12V DC 750mA

It seems to be working now. At first the light kept on blinking, but that was before I charged it with the motorcycle battery charger. The light hasn't been used in months so it was completely dead.

You are welcome to mine. My Brinkmann battery has died and will not hold a charge. I have both the AC and car charger.

That would be terrific! :)

I almost never misplace things and I misplaced the charger one time and I said that I will put it in a place where I won't lose it, but it seems I put it in too good of a place and now I can't find it.

Also, and idea where I can get the bulbs? One of mine is somehow not in the socket. I've looked online, but everyone wants shipping and I don't think it's worth paying $5 for some small bulbs.

did you try looking on the company website or calling them, may be worth a shop.

Pm me your address. I will send the light too and you can have extra bulbs.
