Alternative to Brinkmann Dual Xenon?

My original dual xenon had been forgotten on the charger for long periods of time too.It still reached what I guess was its life expectancy.
 
I know this is an old post but I just wanted to let folks know that I found a battery pack replacement for the Brinkmann Dual Xenon lights. I have three of them. One of them was still working, one had died from being left off charge for too long but it was used for a while. The third one I never ended up taking out of the package for a few years and it was predictably dead. I found the battery replacements and just finished swapping all three batteries (even the working one since it's still 5 years old. The replacement was pretty easy except for the plastic curved part at the top. Once I figured it out I replaced the next two batteries in about five minutes. The batteries are $9.95 from Batteryspec.com. They're all working and charging right now.



Just thought some folks would like to know. I know you can replace the whole light these days for <$30 but I'm fond of this model and $10 is cheaper than $30.
 
admac- Thanks for passing that along! My Brinkman (which I don't use much for detailing, but do find handy for other stuff) is still working OK, but it's good to have a source for those batteries. I wouldn't be surprised if Batteryspec.com has some other good stuff too.

Thanks for the heads up. Although I think that the Brinkman is a piece of crap from China..I do have 3 of them and they all work. The red charge light won't turn off on two of them, but they do hold their charge. They are about 3 years old, so I guess I got my monies worth out of them. I use them in the garage and around the house as I use a TK11 for paint inspection.
 
I think they're prone to going bad but to be fair, two of mine worked for a long time. The one that was still running when I replaced the battery has been plugged in since I bought it and it's lasted 5 years. No telling how long the battery would have lasted if I hadn't just swapped it out. The other two are humming along now with their new batteries.
