  1. I bought a set of Cateye ABS-25 rechargeable lights
    yesterday.
    An impulse buy in Condor - £80 versus normal £120,
    as old stock or something.
    I guess I should have done some Googling, but I had the notion
    of lights for the Dunwich dynamo.

    Anyway, the plugs on the charger have four splines.
    The batteries have sockets with five slots for the splines,
    and I can't get them to engage fully.

    If anyone has Cateye lights, could they please inspect the
    plugs/sockets closely and count the number of splines and report
    back?
    (By spline I mean a fin of plastic)

    I have the ABS30s which have five splines. The charger is the CHR-3010
    and is correct.

    I will say that the first few times I charged the batteries they were a
    *very* tight fit.

    I took the lights back to Condor today.
    They were helpful, and they reckon the connectors are OK and
    its just that the batteries were fully charged.
    Fair enough.

    Not as embarrasing as they day I brought a Blackburn Airstick pump
    back, and the blocke behind the counter simply swapped the washer
    over to deal with Presta valves. But again being perfectly pleasant.
