Hi,

I have a Vagabond II with a dead battery. I just killed it with the modeling light :D
Anyway I bought a new 12V Battery, but with 22Amps and not 20. The Battery works fine and one B1600 works perfect and charges very fast. I fired 30 times just to test it. After that I tried to charge the battery. And that's the problem, the status led is green but when I try to charge the battery the red light goes on and nothing else happened.
Now I'm a little bit clueless.

how long did you charge it?

The battery is new, so I never charged it. I plugged the cable in for about 2 or 3 minutes. Nothing happened so I thought it would be better to unplug the vagabond... :D

the red light coming on means it is charging. Depending on the battery's charge, the green light may not come on until the it nears completing the charge. Let the unit charge for several hours and see if it works as expected.
