    Lensor head torch issue.

    I bought a new lensor seo 7r head torch. The blue and white model. Nz hunter use sane model by the looks of it.
    I've used this one infrequently and now after a full charge
    to green indicator, it lasts 1 night around camp and back from a hunt. Without fail, second night it starts and cuts out after 10 minutes. Not ideal right. .

    Is it the battery? Do I just replace it? Mechanism? anyone had similar issues?

    Also keen to hear of bomb proof medium spec head torches brands and models that you guys rate.

    Yes battery should be able to get a replacement underwarrenty

    its caused by leaving the battery in when not in use

    best to charge them then take them out for storage.

    Ours live by our beds when we are home as emergency lighting if something major happens. They also get used regularly away so leaving the battery out is not a clever thing to do and shouldn't be necessary.
