I got my Angel Speed ('04) about 5 or 6 months ago, and the battery finally went dead during the middle of a game last week. I admit, I haven't been regularly charging it (or charging it at all). Infact, after that Saturday (a little over a week ago) was the first time I've ever charged it.

I have the car charger. Now, after a day it was only charged up to the lowest 6 lights. I let it hang out in my car and charge for the next week, and it's still only went 9 lights up. It died after 2 or 3 games (so about 500 shots) yesterday. If I flipped the switch off and back to on, it would fire maybe 5 or 6 times, then die again. Eventually it stopped firing at all, it would turn on, and the simply turn back off. It charged again all of last night, and is only 6 lights up from the bottom (it goes to 9 but then for some reason drops immediatly back to 6). It also dies after I shoot it maybe 40 or 50 times.

So any ideas what the hell is wrong? Do I have a dysfunctional battery? Perhaps my car isn't giving it the right amount of juice?

it also shouldnt be less then a 12v charge and no more then a 24v so you can also try a different car..

If you let the battery run extremely low then sometimes you have to use a LCD/IR3 charger to "boost" charge them. Give it a 10-15 min charge with a friends LCD/IR3 charger and then charge it like you normally would with your SPEED charger.

The lights are now cascading over and over again, which they weren't doing before.

This is how it should be, right?
