Questions & Reviews
I lost the charger that goes with this. Do you sell just the charger at all or have any tips on where I might be able to purchase just the charger?
You can find them on our Gloworm Accessories page. Look for the
"Li-Ion Smart Charger" from the drop down menu.
do you know what the weight of this is with the battery and strap?
I can run it primarily on low, with many times bumping up to high (1.5hrs on high within 7hrs total) for 7 hrs.
Two batteries are nice but one will last till the sun comes up unless you are on high for hours and start at sunset. But that is just silly.
