Thread: Buggered thermal spotter

Buggered thermal spotter

Battery not charging or holding charge. Works when plugged in to a power source, so definitely the battery (X on battery symbol when turned on). No obvious way to get to the internals. Can anyone on here fix it, or recommend someone that can?

Cheers.

the spinners are usually pretty reliable. just keep it well greased.
it also has the advantage of running a lead acid gel battery, the flappy wings/swimmers/divers run a 16.8V lithium which are now rarer than hens teeth.

this one is different /better than most...runs on a D sized battery,has two tiny motors,one per wing and wings are set at 45 degrees up out of back, it gets better as battery runs down as spinning slows down and wings get out of sync..... its a better flash of white than a blur of fast spinning wings.
issue it had is one motor runs out of spin a lot quicker than the other....must get it back and use it even with only one wing. its like the wingthing but double...
