Normally, the Li-Ion battery has a light that lights up when it is going weak. But it didn't this time. The light just blinked out without warning.
I'm hoping it's only that the battery is dead. It's on the charger now.
I don't have a spare battery for this light and don't normally carry a spare light. But I felt utterly exposed with no headlight (just my blinking LED on my helmet), despite the 3 lights I had on my back.
Perhaps I need to carry the Dinotte as a spare.....
I had a MiNewt fail on the bulb/head, battery was fine. Ended up buying a new head. Maybe you can find someone else with the same light and try your battery on their light.
Oil is good, grease is better.
