If say a few weeks later, do they still work ?
I use them in my SPOT and I use them other way round (no not +ve to -ve :lol: ) I charge them before I use them so I know they are fully charged and then they are stored part charged until the next time I use it when they get charged up again. They always have charge after use and they still have charge when put on to charge for the next use,

I also use them in a headtorch and I just charge them when flat, I have two sets and the spare are left charged ready with no issues.
Thanks, sean_iow and Bearbonesnorm
Phew just what I wanted to hear

This arrived today and another arrived at my Virtual Winter Event's right hand man too :-bd

A Salsa Anything front cradle from Germany - just in before Brexit madness kicks in. To replace my Wildcat harness that had a strap break a couple of weeks ago, This one is sturdy and quite weighty- will fit it later to all the bikes to make sure it works for me

A pair of 2.6x29 WTB Rangers (see my recent apologetic tyre choice thread). The knobblies are pretty small on them so I may need to upgrade to a Vigilante on the front but they were only £26 each so I don't feel to bad if that turns out to be the case.
