Now, for my next question. In doing a check of my equipment. Assessing what is usable, needs servicing and what needs replacing. I pulled out my light, a dive rite 10w HID. I charged the battery and turned it on and it worked, quite well. For about 3-4 minutes. That isn't much of a burn time. I need a new battery, but where can I get one? Dive rite doesn't even list this light in their retired section. I can find voltage specs one the battery.
Measure the inside diameter, and depth of the canister. Then go here: http://www.batteryspace.com/divelightbatteries.aspx
I suspect it had a NiMH, or even a NiCad battery, probably 12 volts. Just pick a 12v battery that will fit in the canister (leaving room for the lid, and connector). Be sure to get a charger for whatever battery chemistry you choose. If you need help, just post the size of the canister, and someone can help you.
