for anyone wondering Joe's torch is linked below, Joe i think those kind of lights come with non rechargeable battery's so by charging the batteries u probably burnt them out, u need special Ni-mh battery's that can be recharged
btw how good did the light work? i seen these around 3 months ago in the electrical section at my local bunnings thought it would be great for side hull lighting
