Does anyone know where i can buy the battery magazine for the dinotte 5w ultra. The two i have appear to be near the end of their working life, i thought at first i had a fault with the light itself but it appears to be the battery magazines.

    You might be able to find a substitute at somewhere like Maplin. I notice they have begun selling various rechargable batteries like the camera ones.

    Unfortunately none of the previous importers now stock spares for these, and there is no sign of a replacement supplier.

    Indeed Maplins (or similar) is the answer..... at less than a quid as well!

    If you don't have any joy you can have my spare.

    Are you sure it isn't just the batteries coming loose ? Try an elastic band around them, mine tend to fall out at 40 mph down Park St !

    thanks for the offer philbill, if you are passing the new magistrates court at the bus station just drop off the battery magazine at the reception and ask to give to Trevor the usher!!....if not don't worry i've found some new supplies on on one :)
