Cheers Ian

probably aa back in the day they were call hp7

Nope it's the great big flat battery you used to get in bike lights. I'll take a look tomorrow and give you the code. I got mine and ever ready from a local electrical shop but you can buy them on ebay. PM me If I forget as very busy.

Cheers Jim thanks for that mate

Thanks Mark are they the old bike light batteries that were like 2 batteries joined together? Cheers for the info Ian

Here's where the batteries go dont know iff there was supposed to be a cover for this  

Hi Ian.

This is the battery.




There is no cover. The clips on the bottom swivel to hold the battery in place

Does any one know the model of it so i can search on eBay?

I think this is one on eBay

Doh. I'll check model and get back to you. They are very cheap on ebay. Be about 30 mins as just popped out

Here goes it's a 3R12 here is mine. I love it

sorry for getting it wrong , was not the 1st time tho

Thanks for the helpI found this battery today on our local market but disaster I think the bulb is duff as its not working    

That's a shame mate!!!! Should be easy to sort bulb though.. I'll assume that the light housing unscrews somehow for easy access to replace bulb? While we are on subject of these lights could I ask someone to give me a couple of measurements please? The diameter and depth of light head.. Area of square base and overall height? Sorry to hijack mate..

"IT'S ALIVE" HAHAHA "UREKA I THINK WE'VE GONE AND DONE IT"     

Let there be light hahaha    Thanks for all the help lads much apreciated

great stuff glad you got it working

Woo hoo. Looks fabulous

ordered one of eBay for mine now. I have a loose unattached wire so may need to do a little soldering first   

Upadte: Battery arrived today and after a bit of jiggery pokery with the wire i turned it on and it worked first time, I was gobsmacked!
