[QUOTE="Magilla, post: 346698, member: 3393"] I have the TDI Pro Oz and the standard battery packed it in after a couple of years. The cells are probably still OK as they usually last about 7 years but there is a small circuit board in the battery that controls the discharge limits so that the battery can not over discharge thus creating a fire risk when recharging, I think this may be what is faulty. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone that could fix it and the replacement battery from Whites is priced ridiculously so I bought some cheap battery holders from Ebay that hold 4 18650 batteries and some cheap (good quality) batteries from Banggood and it works a treat. Two packs last much longer than the standard battery pack at a fraction of the price, you just need to be careful not to over discharge the batteries and you need a quality charger to re-charge them.
