  • Can anybody offer some advice pls?
    I've got quite a good cheapo front light from ebay, a 1000lm lights, which runs off a usb battery pack.
    I have 3 battery packs which all hold charge and charge my phone OK however only one them runs the light for any longer than a couple of mins. It seems to me that some battery packs have some form of sensing which switches it off?
    Can I hack the UISB cable or buy a special "unintelligent" batter pack?
    Cheers

  • Yes, you can get little red things that stop data connections.

    But, it sounds more like it's a current draw issue, given that it works for minutes. Is the battery getting hot?
