    Default Salvo/Light Monkey HID Canister Light

    I have a Salvo HID Canister Light (Light Monkey) which I picked up from a friend getting out of diving. I'm not really familiar with this light but it does operate fine. The charger was dead so I replaced it with a new charger and the battery charged. I do not have a burn tester so I have no idea on condition of the battery nor the Wattage of the battery. I also have a spare O-Ring and a light head cover that doubles as a beer Koozie! . The light does power on and is very bright. I'm going to ask $500 plus S/H to CONUS of $15 for USPS Priority flat rate Shipping, or item can be picked up in Pensacola, FL. I accept PAYPAL or cash. No Checks!!

    Please contact me via email at barry.shively at gmail.com with any questions or requests for more info.

    So the light it turns out is a 21Watt 9Amp Focusable HID

    Update: Battery needs to be replaced, I only got about 1 Hour and 40 Minute Burn time on the battery. A new battery from a third party is just under $200, waiting to hear from LM what they charge.

    So with that being said, how about $400 plus shipping to CONUS.

    This looks like a nice light. LM is good about servicing the older Salvo models.
    Question: is the charger the correct one for the battery? I ask because the pack appears to be made with cylindrical Li-ion cells (18650). A NiMh charger will not work properly with Li-ion cells.

    I honestly have no idea. The pack has 6 cylindrical cells with each cylinder containing 3 cells for a total of 18 "individual" batteries. I replaced the charger the my friend gave me which had no voltage output with the exact model (Albeit this one is green instead of Black). Since there are no markings on the pack I feel that the only way to know for sure would be to cut the pack open and see the individual cells which I dont want to do. The batteries do charge with the charger but I'm not sure about "Properly".

    I have a light that is nearly identical to that except that it says Light Monkey on the light head and it was a prototype for the Hog Lurid. The battery pack and charger look the same. It should be fine.


    Edit- My charger is green also and someone put a dab of glue on it locking it in the higher amp position. I assume that is correct.

    LM offers a battery upgrade to Li-Ion which also requires a new charger.
