FAQs

Which Black Diamond headlamps are compatible with the BD 1800 battery?

The BD 1800 battery is compatible with the Black Diamond Sprinter 275, Sprinter 500, and ReVolt 350 headlamp models.

How long does it take to charge the BD 1800 battery?

Charging time can vary depending on the power source, but typically it takes approximately 2-3 hours for a full charge from empty using a standard USB adapter.

Can I use the USB charger with other batteries?

The included USB charger is specifically designed for the Black Diamond BD 1800 rechargeable battery and should not be used with other battery types.

How do I know when the battery is fully charged?

The charging indicator on the USB charger will typically change color or turn off when the battery is fully charged. Refer to the charger's specific indicator lights for confirmation.

What is the expected lifespan of the BD 1800 battery?

Lithium-ion batteries have a finite lifespan and can endure a certain number of charge cycles. With proper care, the BD 1800 battery should provide reliable performance for several years of typical use.

Can I use this battery in extreme cold temperatures?

While designed for outdoor use, extreme cold can affect the performance and lifespan of any lithium-ion battery. It's best to keep the battery close to body temperature when possible in very cold conditions.

Troubleshooting

Headlamp does not turn on with the BD 1800 battery.

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the proper polarity. Verify that the battery is adequately charged using the included USB charger. Check that your headlamp model is compatible with the BD 1800 battery.

Battery is not charging.

Confirm the USB cable is securely connected to both the battery and the power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Ensure the charging contacts on the battery are clean.

Reduced runtime or dimming light.

The battery may need recharging. If fully charged, check for any obstructions in the headlamp's LED or reflector. For older batteries, performance may naturally decrease over time; consider replacement if runtime is significantly reduced.
