Does anyone know a good source for a lightly used Light and Motion NiMH battery for their ARC lighting system? I stored mine away for over ayear while fully discharged, and it will not hold a charge anymore.

I'd give Lights & Motion a call and speak with one of their support guys to make sure that it's the battery. I had what I thought was a battery problem, but it was actually a faulty over-temp sensor shutting down the light--made it look like the battery only had about 5 minutes of run time.

By the way, never run an ARC without a fan blowing on it if you are testing it inside. Apaprently, this can cause the over-temp sensor to get fried. :innocent:
