I got a used emergency fluorescent lamp for a good price, or so I thought.
It is MAJOR TECH REL360
6v lead acid battery.
It charges (as in red charge led lights up)
But the lamps(1 or 2),only stay lit for a minute.
I swopped the battery with a known good one, with the same result.
I hooked a battery charger to the battery wires, and the lamps STAY lit, so that must be a definate clue.
I thought capacitor, as it stores electricity.
I removed the little circuit board, and don't see swollen caps, and nothing burnt, so unless you good folk can offer a solution, it is destined for the dustbin,as I don't have the electrical knowledge to fix, however, I can hold a soldering iron, lol.
Measuring, we have 6v when off.
when lamps are on, then the battery stops to 4.5v
Both batteries have this behaviour.
I can't take it back, as I damaged the body when dismantling.
