It should take 10-12 hours, any longer the battery is no good, you can test the battery using a Volt Meter, the battery should be reading 12 volts, any less and the battery will need to be replaced. You can order a new one from Black and Decker, they purchased Vector in 2006, here is the link;

Question edited for clarity. Not 'our site', we are FIXYA, we aren't Vector. We just have a Vector Category for handy filing. As long as the voltage is right, it will be fine. My more milliamp hours in the battery specs, the longer the lamp will stay bright.

I am sure I answered this last week, in fact I know I did!. It is not available as a direct replacement. Look on the unit for an input voltage or ask the maker. Or you can buy one of these and see what happens?

same as the voltage from your charger.

Hi. Follow the link below. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/587395/Vector-Stormtracker-Vec135.html Good luck.

I suggest you query the following parties: https://www.microprecision.com/equipment/ROBOTOOLZ-CALIBRATION.html https://triginstruments.co.nz/web The bottom link is to a New Zealand company. The top link certainly offers repair.

Vector is a "Smart" charger. And won't charge a completely "dead" battery when old "not-smart" chargers would. How old is the battery? You could take the battery somewhere and have it checked as to whether it's "good" or not before you blame the charger.

By now the warranty is expired

Look in a manual to see if it has a number https://searchmanuals.net/search7/?keyword=%2Bmanuals&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHKEI80Q6CieEEng39GMJDInaMWCYCawMEogJFIuB4mhUxn45mkkNpoaAna6EALw_wcB

It may be in the manual. Here is a site if you need one. https://searchmanuals.net/search7/?keyword=%2Bmanuals&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwc7jBRD8ARIsAKSUBHKEI80Q6CieEEng39GMJDInaMWCYCawMEogJFIuB4mhUxn45mkkNpoaAna6EALw_wcB

Either the charger is bad or most probable is the battery is bad.

Just a guess here. Sounds like the battery might have been left uncharged for a while and could need to be replaced. Lead acid batteries need to be kept fully charged as much as possible to prevent them failing (the chemistry begins to change quite quickly and irreversibly if the voltage gets too low, and they will then not recharge). Top-up charge every couple of months if not being used to prevent self discharge from causing this. Always recharge promptly after use. If you have a voltmeter, check the battery voltage, should be above about 12.4 v to prevent deterioration. Voltage should only drop slightly when light is switched on if the battery is good. Charger might be self protecting if battery is faulty. These batteries are reasonably priced and very common, be careful to connect the right way round if you are replacing or you can destroy the electronics! You might be able to connect a new battery (observe polarity!) to test it works before you buy. Check that the batt voltage rises slightly when the charger is connected to make sure the problem is not caused by a charging fault.
