Dear Dive Rite Gurus,
I have had a 21W Slimline for about a year now and have about 2 dozen dives on it. Today I was charging it up as normal. When it was done I unplugged the charger cord from the wall then picked up the battery pack and the battery was pretty hot. Now not hot enough that it would burn your hand but it did seem hotter than I remember on previous chargings.
Here's what worries me though...When I picked the light up off of the floor it was slightly stuck to the carpet. After further inspection I noticed that there was a very small amount of what appeared to be hot glue that had melted out of the top of the battery pack and stuck to the carpet.
What is up with this battery pack? Is this something that is going to need to be replaced? I wouldn't be to worried about it but I have a good friend who bought his light (also a 21W Slimline) about the same time I bought mine and his has had to go back to Dive Rite twice now.
Thanks,
Gillty
