buy one of these,see how it compares or and rebuild the other one from the parts......

Spares then lol, its often the case that the battery is the expensive part, at least you know its gonna last

[art b]

could rebuild the decent rechargable one,with the batt and charger from the draper one,

then put standard lantern batts or rechargables in the draper one....

amazing how bored we get in the winter....
