[QUOTE="incey, post: 416491, member: 12450"] I bought a second hand gold monster a while back and have been having issues getting the battery to charge. Started looking at replacement batteries and when I saw they were $165 ish decided to do a bit more research. When the battery is on the 240v charger only a red light is shown on the battery. I thought this was normal but have eventually run the battery right down over successive uses and 'charging'. Today I tried the leads that let you charge off a car battery on a deep cycle 12v battery I have conected to solar powered lighting in my shed. What do you know, a flashing green led on the battery now. Never saw this with the 240v charger so now I am thinking it is the charger that is had it. Hopefully at some stage the flashing green light on the battery will change to a "i'm fully charged" indication. It seems chargers are much cheaper than batteries so I am hoping battery does actually get fully charged off the 12v. Lots of hope going on but you never know until you try. [/QUOTE]
