On the Blink

[elvis earnhardt]

I need a little help, Went out with the 250 today, hunted a couple of hours. Everything was rosy. Then I moved to a new location, and the 250 kept cutting off. It would come back on after the short waiting period by just pressing the on switch. The batteries show a full charge and only have about 4 hours on them. The batteries are in the housing tight. The good thing is that it will come back on, the bad thing is it only does this when you make a swinging motion. Any of y'all seen anything like this. Any Ideals.


Thanks

The only time I had this happen is when the batteries were very low, and one of the batteries was weaker then the rest, creating a lot of resistance. Try 4 more different batteries. also, prior to installing the batteries, take a pencil eraser and rum both ends of each battery before installing them. make sure you have the correct polarity too.

Good luck. Let us know if it still doesn't work after this.

I also test new batteries before I install them. You'd be surprised how many weak or bad batteries you come across in sets of new ones. One never knows how long the dealer has had them and they all have a shelf life.
