Vector 3 Million Candlepower Rechargeable Sport Spotlight - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

https://www.batteriesplus.com/battery

In March, 2006, Black & Decker purchased Vector Products, Inc. Since the acquisition, Black & Decker has assumed the manufacturing of all Vector products. For customer service and warranty information for Vector products, please contact Black & Decker Customer Service.

It depends on what voltage the internal battery is. If it's a 6 volt, the charging voltage will be a little higher, close to 6.5 to 7 volts. Most of these spotlights are 6 volt. New batteries can be found at Battery International: http://batteryinternational.com/spotlight-batteries-vector-battery.html

We have no reference books here at FixYa to look this up. That said please contact the manufacturer or go to a local Radio Shack electronics store to see if one of the universal chargers they sell will work. They have chargers that work with a wide range of consumer electronic goods.

Hi snikmn...
Disassemble the flashlight.
Take the bulb out and take it to your local auto parts place and they will be able to give you the bulb that you need.
It will probably be a 55/60 or just a straight 55 or 60 watt.
The higher the wattage the brighter the light, but the less time it can burn at that setting.
Please take time to rate me

plugged it into the Vector to charge, the see if the Vector would light up without a problem, if it lights then your battery is shot.

Baccus just bought Vector from Black & Decker (Sept. 2010)
Looks like flashlight model # VEC 139BW but a different color. (Mine is White w/blue trim.) There is a battery in the top & one in the bottom, replace them at the same time. If I can find several battery stores in Buffalo you should be able to find a local battery store there.
Baccus- 877-571-2391 for main beam, area light no longer available. Try to find local distributor & save shipping charges.

If it is the 12 volt model, you can use the bulbs for Makita or Dewalt rechargeable lights. Any good hardware store should be able to get you one if you take out the bulb and show it to them though. Good hunting:)

Hello! I have a marinepro, 12-volt, 3 million candle power spotlight (mpn #MPAT-996). I found out that the manufacturer is RoadPro (866) 622-7979. After contacting them, they said the replacement bulb is an "H3 12v (volt) 100w (watt) and can be found in the Walmart camping section or should be available at any car parts store. I'm going to go to Walmart to find mine. Hope this helps others!

Vector was acquired by Black & Decker in 2006, but DeWalt carries replacement parts. I searched for yours and found this:

I went to ACE Hardware and the sales person their figured it out. After testing the bulbs, which were fine, we narrowed it down to the trigger on the cpistol grip. It turned out that there is a cover over the trigger that must be lifted before the trigger can fully engage.

While it could be the battery, it could also be the internal charger in the spotlight. When you plug it in, it bypasses the charger and uses the connected power. However, it is likely just a bad battery. The batteries only last 3 years in an ideal setting and since these lights are typically only used certain times of the year, the batteries discharge and go bad.

Check Home Depot, they should have it, if not in the store then online
